The Overall Objective Of This Project Is To Tangibly Improve The Living Conditions Of People With Disabilities And Vulnerable Populations Through An Inclusive And Participatory Approach. The Vision Of Change For This Second Phase Of The Cpp Remains Consistent With That Envisaged In Phase 1.

The Project Is Pursuing Two Specific Complementary Objectives By Working In Both The Mental Health Sector And The Inclusive Education/Vocational Training Continuum. For This Evaluation, We Are Focusing On Objective 1 Which Aims To Strengthen The Community-Based Prevention And Response Strategy To Make Mental Health A Collective Responsibility In Order To Improve The Quality Of Life, Wellbeing/ Positive Mental Health And Capacity Of People In Situations Of Psychosocial Distress And/Or Psychosocial Disability By Achieving 4 Results: 1: The Countries National Mental Health Strategies Are Strengthened/Developed. 2: Community-Based, Multidisciplinary Mental Health Prevention And Care Services Are Consolidated And Operational. 3: Mental Health Promotion Activities Are Developed And Strengthened In Partnership With Users. 4: A Knowledge Management, Development And Sharing Plan Is Put In Place. 1.2 Overview Of The Project With Funding From The French Development Agency (Afd), Hi Is Currently Implementing A Project Title (Towards Flexible Action For Inclusive Access To Education And Vocational Training And The Construction Of A Society Attentive To Mental Health Issues And Respect For Peoples Rights) Through The Multiannual Partnership Agreement (Cpp 2) On The Components-Mental Health (Mh). The Mental Health Encompasses Three Dimensions: Distress, Mental Disorders, And Positive Mental Health. Our Action Aims To Alleviate Distress Related To The Fragile Stories In Which Hi And It Partners Work By Strengthening Community Resources To Prevent And Manage Pre-Existing Mental Disorders Or Exacerbated By These Same Contexts And Thus Contribute To Positive Mental Health. Hi And It Partners Define Positive Mental Health As A Positive State Of Balance And Harmony Between The Structures Of The Individual And Those Of The Environment To Which He Must Adapt. The Mental Health Situation In The Target Countries Is Characterized By Repeated Crises In Recent Years And A Difficulty Of Existing Services To Cover All Needs.
