What is capacity building? • Definitions: conceptual approach to development that focuses on understanding the obstacles that
inhibit people, governments, international organizations and non-governmental organizations from realising their developmental goals while enhancing the abilities that will allow them to achieve measurable and sustainable results.
• Assumptions?– Giving in an unequal relationship – The giver is more developed than the other – One side has more resources than the other– One side has more technical and scientific knowledge than the other– Reciprocal or return benefits is not often identified– Donor countries may have indirectly contributed to “capacity reduction” in recipient countries
• Lexicon- what does it mean?Capacity development, capacity building “give a man a fish and he will eat one meal – teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime”In health care and mental health care it is about knowledge, skills and competencies

Capacity building and mental health
• Global rise in mental health problems • Availability of evidence based treatment but most people
don’t receive it (27% and 30.5% in Europe and USA, less than 2% in Nigeria (Thornicroft, 2007, Alonso et al 2007, Thomas et al 2008).
• Poor allocation of resources for mental health in LAMIC’s • The “10/90 gap” – (10% of global health research resources
were used for health problems of countries which accounted for 90% of world health problems – CHRD, 1990)
• ? Dealng with major disaster in such a context – has any country got the capacity?

Sri Lankan Context • Independence from British rule in 1948 • Very good infrastructure, schools, colleges, universities, medical schools
and educated elite (some educated in the UK and the West). Over inflated administrative infrastucutre
• Political changes in the late 50’s and 60’s led to migration of educated classes, particularly the Burgers to Australia, West and other developing countries eg. Africa, Middle East
• JVP insurgency in the 70’s and 80’s and the 30 year civil conflict also contributed to the brain drain which weakened the infrastructure in many ways
• Poor economy also meant lack of investment in education as well as research and development also contributed brain drain
• Migration
