  17. What is WHO doing on ageing? • World Report on Ageing and Health (2015) • Global Strategy and Action Plan (2016) • Supporting member states - Knowledge Translation models (Ghana 2013, China 2014, ? 2015) • Normative work (Frailty, Long term care, Workforce) • Other initiatives (Dementia, Age-friendly Cities, Technical Innovation, hearing impairment, SAGE etc)

  18. Ageing and Health Program of Work – How? • A“one-Organization” response is the best way to use the limited internal resources that will be available to tackle ageing issues. • Since many of the concrete products required are beyond the capacity of WHO, a core early goal should be to establish global platforms that enable external partnerships.

  19. Ageing and Health Program of Work – How? • Ageing Program Network Coordination Forum • Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Ageing and Health (SAGEAH) • Knowledge and Action Nodes on Ageing and Health
