Africa Ageing Conference 2027

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia | October 2027 (dates to be announced)

 

Building Africa’s flagship continental platform for leadership, learning, accountability and collective action

Africa’s population is changing. As more people live longer lives, countries across the continent have an opportunity to build healthier, more inclusive and more resilient societies.

The Africa Ageing Conference 2027 will bring together leaders and changemakers from across Africa and beyond to shape a shared response to demographic change.

Why this conference matters

The Africa Ageing Conference is being established as Africa’s flagship platform on ageing, longevity and demographic change, bringing together leaders, experts and partners to drive action and collaboration.

Why now?

2027 marks a significant milestone for ageing and development, including 25 years of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, the final phase of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing, and implementation of the African Union Protocol on the Rights of Older Persons.

Conference themes

  • Population intelligence and evidence
  • Healthy ageing and care
  • Social protection and inclusive economies
  • Climate resilience and humanitarian action

Building on regional experience

The Africa Ageing Conference builds on successful regional platforms that have brought together governments, researchers, civil society organisations, older people’s organisations and development partners to share learning and drive action on ageing.

This includes the Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Population Ageing, which demonstrated the value of regional collaboration in raising the profile of ageing and translating dialogue into practical action.
