(2) Present a report on the availability of qualified mental healthcare providers, including psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses and counsellors in each county, highlighting any existing gaps in human resource capacities. (3) Provide information on any ongoing recruitment, training and capacity- building initiatives by both national and county governments to improve mental health care service provision; (4) Highlight current Government strategies, budgetary allocations and any collaborative efforts with county governments aimed to improving mental health services, particularly in counties facing shortages of clinics or qualified personnel.
