| Annotation | The broad aim of the Madrid Plan of Action is "to ensure that persons everywhere are able to age with security and dignity and to continue to participate in their societies as citizens with full rights". The aim of the bottom-up participatory approach is to discover the impact of the Madrid Plan of Action on the quality of life of older people through involving them in its review. The guidelines comprise four key sections covering: identification of stakeholders: who to work with and how; how to review national policies and define priorities for action on ageing; how to review implementation of the Madrid Plan of Action with older persons through bottom-up participatory assessment; and how to distil and analyse this information at national and regional levels. Case studies from Africa, Asia, South America and New Zealand offer positive examples of the engagement of policymakers with older people and other stakeholders to improve policy and programme design and implementation. Annex I suggests the quantitative indicators that can be used to help assess implementation of the Madrid Plan of Action combined with findings from bottom-up participatory reviews with older people. Annex II and the listed resources provide further in-depth advice and discuss tools for conducting participatory research. (RH). |
