Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

During this reporting period, the charity sought to contribute to 5 main strategic objectives emerging from CIO’s objects, as follows: 1) Contribute to improved access to mental health care through systembased changes The main achievement of the charity related to this objective was to successfully negotiate the Memorandum of Understanding with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health, which encompasses: • The development of the Tanzanian National Strategy for Mental Health and the preparation of its Implementation Plan • Delivering implementation of these policy documents once adopted by the Tanzanian MoH. • Conducting monitoring and evaluation of the implementation. The overall objective is to deliver support for a mental health system transformation at national level that is grounded in the new Mental Health Strategy covering all the components of the health system (governance, service delivery, human resources and financing). 2) Contribute to improved staff competencies through training & capacity building The charity has managed to successfully supervise the delivery of training of 32 Community Mental Health Teams from across Turkey that received face-to-face and online training provided by national TOTs and by INSIGHT International & GGZ Noord-Holland-Noord experts. Combining structured knowledge sharing sessions with hands on sessions, the training supports mental health teams to deliver care to people with severe mental health problems for a catchment area of about 12 million population. In addition, the preparations continued for the project in Tanzania undertaken during this reporting period also relate to building capacity of mental health and related professionals. Outcomes of this work are expected in the following period. 3) Contribute to improved governance for mental health and integrated health systems The charity has delivered support to EUCOMS which includes overseeing the implementation of the Network’s strategy for the period 2021-2024. This entailed a sustained series of webinars and other collaborative initiatives, bringing together specialised services with primary care ones, as well as input from other sectors (e.g. social care). In addition, the charity has successfully finalised the new RLMH International Research and Development Strategy, which should guide the organisation for the period 2021 – 2026. 4) Contribute to increased research-generated international base of evidence for good mental health system.
