Annotation	Research on ageing has begun in many African countries, but an overall strategy is needed to focus, strengthen and integrate the research. This paper provides an assessment of the state of knowledge on ageing in Africa, how it is being used across the continent, and what is or is not required. The author concludes that all stakeholders - researchers, policy makers and practitioners - should be involved in setting the research agenda. This paper was first presented at the conference, "Research on Ageing, Health and Poverty in Africa: Forging Directions for the Future", hosted by the Oxford Institute of Ageing, 11-13 April 2005. (RH).
