New guide by WHO shares suggestions for meaningful engagement of older people in creating age-friendly environments

The guide, published by the World Health Organisation, includes suggestions for meaningful engagement of older people in creating age-friendly environments, detailed examples of existing national AFCC programmes, and practical steps for creating or strengthening such a programme.

The guide should support older people and their families in living in communities – urban, suburban, rural, remote, big or small – that promote their autonomy, dignity, health and wellbeing
