Network Affiliates play an essential role in supporting the Global Network for Age-friendly Cities and Communities<\/strong> by promoting the creation of age-friendly environments and facilitating information exchange and learning between communities.<\/p>\n

What are Network Affiliates?<\/h3>\n

Affiliates are national or regional\/state governments, civil society or research organizations, national or transnational city or community networks in WHO Member States that are working to promote age-friendly environments at the sub-national, regional, national or international level.<\/p>\n

Affiliates advocate for the work of the Global Network and within their respective spheres of influence, advance knowledge and action on age-friendly environments. They serve as catalysts at the sub-national, national, regional, and international levels by promoting the age-friendly cities and communities’ approach.<\/p>\n

Many affiliates also provide guidance and support to cities and communities who wish to become more age-friendly in their local language, within their local policy context, and through local opportunities to meet face-to-face. Often times, aligned membership criteria allow those members of affiliated networks to be automatically eligible to join the WHO Global Network for Age-friendly Cities and Communities.<\/p>\n

The International Federation on Ageing<\/u><\/a>, as a non-State actor in official relations with WHO, also provides direct support to the WHO Secretariat of the Global Network, building on their outstanding knowledge and expertise.<\/p>\n
