The research collaboration between the Africa Medical and Behavioral Sciences Organization (AMBSO) and Karolinska Institutet (KI) officially began on September 23, 2019, when KI signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AMBSO. This partnership aims at combining high-quality research with capacity building, laying the groundwork for new projects, grants, and joint PhD student supervision. The key areas of collaboration include research on; HIV and other communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, nutrition, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), mental health, illicit drug and alcohol, and gender-based violence.
Since its inception, the collaboration has developed key research projects on quality of life, mental health, substance use, GBV, and adolescent reproductive health. It has also created a social economic index for diverse settings and fostered knowledge exchange, benefiting both institutions and the scientific community.
