Towards an Age Friendly Ireland

| Within the framework of the WHO’s Age Friendly Cities and Communities model, city and county based stakeholders are making commitments to shared action plans addressing pillars spanning housing, our health services, built environment, transport and social and civic participation. Under the leadership of the local authority chief executive’s and senior managers, governance is anchored in the multi-agency age-friendly alliances, supported by broadly representative older peoples’ councils engaged as co-design partners. Previously no local forums existed for senior-level executives to plan collaboratively in order to respond to the challenges and promises of an expanding older adult population. Successful age friendly city and county programmes are now working to create the kinds of communities in which older people live autonomous, independent and valued lives. |
