Why partner with Ahadi

A credible systems partner, by design.

01
Government-integrated from the start
Not a pilot looking for a home. Integration with public systems is the founding design, not an exit strategy.
02
African-founded, African-led
Built in Tanzania by the people closest to the problem, with a decade of frontline credibility behind it.
03
Multi-channel, not app-only
App, SMS, and helpline, support reaches young people on any phone, not just smartphones.
04
Human-centered technology
Digital tools route and support; trained people deliver care. Technology serves the relationship, never replaces it.
05
Designed for public ownership
The goal is government-owned delivery, not permanent donor dependency.
What partnership looks like

Two pathways to scale youth mental health support.

Ahadi works with governments and mission-aligned organisations to expand access without building parallel systems. Partners can help strengthen public delivery or integrate Ahadi's tools and model into services they already provide.

Government Adoption

Build lasting youth mental health systems through public institutions

We work with ministries, local governments, schools, universities and health systems to embed youth mental health support into existing public structures.

Partners can work with us to:
  • Design district delivery systems

    Shape how young people enter care, how cases are screened and referred, and how frontline workers are supervised.

  • Strengthen the frontline workforce

    Equip teachers, peers, community health workers and call-centre agents to identify distress early and connect young people to appropriate support.

  • Integrate technology and data

    Connect screening, referral, follow-up and reporting tools with existing government channels and information systems.

  • Build toward government ownership

    Support a pathway where government progressively delivers, finances and supervises the system while Ahadi provides the enabling infrastructure and standards.

Partner on Government Adoption
Social Franchising & Licensing

Bring Ahadi’s model into services you already deliver

We work with social enterprises, NGOs, schools, universities, employers and digital health platforms that want to add structured youth mental health support to their existing programmes.

Partners can license:
  • Ahadi CareLink

    Integrate screening, risk-stratified triage, referral, case coordination and follow-up into an existing platform or service.

  • Ahadi Service Access

    Offer young people additional ways to reach support through app, SMS, helpline or partner-owned entry points.

  • The Ahadi Blueprint

    Adopt tested training, delivery, safeguarding, supervision and quality-assurance tools for frontline implementation.

  • Data and dashboards

    Track service demand, risk, referrals, engagement and outcomes to improve delivery and demonstrate impact.

Explore the licensing model

One coordinated model, adapted to different systems.

Whether Ahadi is embedded in a public health system or licensed to a mission-aligned organisation, the goal remains the same: help young people reach the right support earlier, and make that support sustainable.

Fund, research or enable the work

Funders, researchers and technical partners can support evidence generation, product development, implementation learning and expansion across either pathway.
