| Annotation | The older population of Sub-Saharan Africa is likely to rise from 36.6 million (2005) to 141 million in 2050, and compounded by problems such as vulnerability to poverty and exclusion from health services. The Conference identified the need, and this report explains the context and rationales for, a framework for planning research. The framework is intended as a resource and guide, and provides key directions for research on ageing in Africa on a matrix of six levels: overarching principles for research; key areas of information need and broad priority questions; cross-cutting approaches needed for research design and planning; specific priority questions on ageing and health, poverty and HIV/AIDS; key requirements and suggested steps for capacity building; and a coordinating mechanism and vehicle for capacity building, by the establishment of an African Research on Ageing Network (AFRAN).
