Researchers
The people doing the work, made visible.
AMB is a small, named collaborative — one lead consultant, one senior adviser, one country anchor each in Tanzania, Malawi and DRC, and a working-modeller advisory network. The monthly Spotlight foregrounds one early-career African researcher whose work the platform is actively backing.

For early-career researchers
Join the platform. Register your interest.
If you are a BSc, MSc or PhD student in Tanzania, Malawi or DRC, AMB will route a country-led modelling question to you with a named supervisor, a methods adviser, and a modest stipend. Researcher self-service profiles open from v0.5; for now, register interest and the country anchor will reach out.
