What We Do

Some of the key areas of work that we focus on are:

Our strategy, outlined in Strategy 2050, positions us as a global convenor, supporter, and thought leader for a network of partner organisations committed to promoting the dignity, wellbeing, and voice of older people worldwide.

Protecting the rights of older people

We advocate for the rights of older people and work to raise awareness about issues affecting them, such as age discrimination, elder abuse, and neglect.

Challenging ageism

We challenge ageism so that older people are recognised as individuals and treated fairly and without discrimination.

Supporting healthy ageing

We work with network members and partners from grassroot to global levels to promote healthy ageing. We aim to reach the furthest behind first, so that everyone, everywhere is able to access the health and care and support services they need, regardless of age.

Creating a society for all ages

We support older people to speak out, claim their rights and influence decisions that affect their lives.

Advancing gender equality

We campaign to ensure that older people of all genders enjoy the same rights, responsibilities and opportunities.

Responding to humanitarian crises

We respond to emergencies and crises around the world by providing essential aid and support to older people affected by conflict, disasters, and displacement.

Improving income security

We work to ensure that older people have access to sustainable and adequate income, including through social protection programmes and livelihood support.
