  • To increase access to community based mental health services in Agago, Pader and Abim districts.
  • To strengthen the capacity of stakeholders to invest in, develop, coordinate and deliver mental health services.
  • To empower people with mental illness/epilepsy and their caregivers to demand better mental health services, and advocate for their rights and inclusion in government services.
  • To improve the resilience of people with mental illness/epilepsy and their caregivers through sustainable economic empowerment.
  • To strengthen mental health research and opportunities for collaboration.
