The objective of the project is to strengthen the capacities of UNECE member States to address the challenges and opportunities of population ageing. In 2023, the Standing Working Group on Ageing developed a multi-year programme of work (2023-2027) for regional cooperation to support the implementation of the commitments under the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, its Regional Implementation Strategy for the UNECE region (MIPAA/RIS) and the 2022 Rome Ministerial Declaration on Ageing. The project will contribute to strengthen capacity through enhanced knowledge on and guidance for the development of evidence-based policy measures.
