| Annotation | The authors provide information about an inter-institutional network supporting older people in Portugal, and a policy document that institutionalised this type of inter-institutional practices. The information forms part of a large corpus collected in the course of interdisciplinary research, 'Aging, poverty and social exclusion: an interdisciplinary study on innovative support services.' (https://apseclunl.wordpress.com/). The aim of the research project was to gather documentation on good practice in interventions with older people at risk of exclusion. The information collected includes: interviews, observation and recordings of inter-institutional meetings. In the light of the relevant literature, the study discusses the ethnographic account in relation to relevant policy documents ('Rede Social' Interinstitutional Network Program RCM no 197/97, of 18 November). The article describes the main aspects of the intervention strategies with the older population. It documents the value of these experiences and the approach in policies for the democratisation of services, and the inclusion of citizens participating in decision making about delivery of services and the promotion of inclusive societies.
