Makerere University Africa at the Centre of Global Mental Health Conference 2027

Partnership & Sponsorship Prospectus

More than 116 million people in Africa are living with a mental health condition and less than one in ten receives any care. ACGMHC 2027 is where the evidence meets the will to act. We invite you to be part of that moment — not as a peripheral sponsor, but as a co-architect of what comes next.
