Consultancy

In addition to research, the Centre aims to provide consultancy services to local, provincial and national government, as well as other African countries in the development and implementation of mental health policy.  This may include, for example, consultancy in partnership with WHO, to assist the development of a mental health policy in a specific African country; review of mental health services in a particular province or district; the development of management information systems for mental health services; or the development of a human resource development plan for mental health services for a specific African country.

As a mark of its strong academic orientation, the Centre will endeavour to publish the process and outputs of consultancy work in accredited academic peer review journals where ever possible.
