Presents a call to action to all development stakeholders governments, civil society, multilateral agencies, bilateral agencies, global partnerships, private foundations, academic and research institutions to focus their attention on mental health.|The report presents compelling evidence that persons with mental and psychosocial disabilities are a vulnerable group but continue to be marginalized in terms of development aid and government attention. It makes the case for reaching out to this group through the design and implementation of appropriate policies and programmes and through the inclusion of mental health interventions into broader poverty reduction and development strategies.
