Based in Moshi, Tanzania, Africa Volunteer Corps (AVC) is a service corps for Africans to do long-term volunteer work in African-initiated development projects. AVC creates African development leaders by training and placing educated Africans to work for a year at local NGO’s in Africa. Promising future leaders gain the skills and experience necessary to envision a positive future for Africa and the tools to make it a reality. This qualified, passionate workforce in turn increases the impact of local NGO’s. Creating a springboard for future leaders and strengthening ground-up social change efforts, Africa Volunteer Corps positions Africans to control development on their own continent The 2012 pilot program is in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. Founder Caitlin Kelley is a native of Atlanta and a graduate of Northwestern University, where she studied African history. Her passion for African history started her on a path to change the way the West interacts with Africa, to facilitate justice and self-determination wherever possible, and to open doors for people to live their greatest potential. That path took her to Tanzania where she learned Swahili and worked at a grassroots NGO. While there, she saw the world of local NGO’s from the inside out and met many passionate, educated locals hungry to find lasting ways to make a positive impact in their country. In 2009 she and partner Jafari Msaki founded Africa Volunteer Corps. .

We are changing the way we fund mental health research to increase impact of investments globally. International collaboration is needed to balance investments between projects that address the current burden of mental health challenges and those that are committed to long-term development of scientific knowledge, and potential cures. The IAMHRF is the only forum where mental health research funders from around the world can meet in person and discuss key topics, trends, and shared opportunities and challenges in the sector. By bringing global mental health research funders together, the IAMHRF facilitates knowledge sharing to avoid reinventing the wheel and speed up progress. The alliance enables sub-groups of funders, many of whom are meeting each other for the first time, to collaborate on national and international initiatives. With opportunities to interact with other countries and learn from each other, the alliance is breaking down silos and encouraging members to look at mental health issues from a global perspective. Starting with a handful of members in 2010, the alliance has grown to over 20 member organizations globally with deep knowledge of the mental health sector, research funding and policy, and health innovations. The network members represent funders investing in research in high, middle, and low income countries around the world.
