This initiative was then kept in play due to the recognition of GSP by World Health Organisation (WHO) as one of the top three African interventions to show success in the treatment of Depression among depressed people. With this recognition, came a grant offer from WHO to SEEK GSP that was intended to have GSP scaled up to the rest of the Ugandan regions, however, it has never been received but is still in play.
