Education/Training Grant

Under this Cooperative Agreement, IAF partner Asociacin de Capacitacin e Investigacin para la Salud Mental (ACISAM) will work in four countries to further develop a network of nine grassroots associations focusing on services for people with psychiatric disabilities and for their caregivers.

The partner and the associations will collaborate on organizing educational events; facilitating communications; improving their administration, leadership and partnerships; and managing a subgrant fund financing economic initiatives, training and outreach.

In this cooperative agreement, ACISAM will work with the IAF on regional events, subgrant review and dissemination of lessons. Some 800 Salvadorans, Nicaraguans, Panamanians and Costa Ricans will benefit directly and another 7,000 indirectly.
