2012: The year for ageing
European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations
This year we want decision-makers everywhere to listen to older people's needs.
2012 also marks the ten-year review of the Madrid Plan, committing governments to include ageing in development policies.
Throughout the year, we will continue to bring people - old and young - together to campaign for older people's rights.

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.
