Older people's rights at the World Economic Forum
At the World Economic Forum this week, our Chief Executive, Richard Blewitt, will highlight the issue of older people's rights. The forum will give leaders an opportunity to address population ageing and plan for its consequences.
We've also contributed a chapter to a new report, Global Population Ageing: Peril or Promise, which is being launched at Davos.

Working with older people: Practical guidelines
Do you work with older people in the developing world? Need practical information on how to tailor programmes to older people's needs?
We have new practical guidelines for programme managers and people working with older people, drawing on experience in the HelpAge network.
Please use the guidelines for your own work, training or as a basis for producing more detailed, locally relevant materials.
The guidelines cover topics including emergencies, HIV and AIDS, rights and advocacy and health and care.
