In 2015, WKC launched a new study programme to investigate models and social innovations for community-based programmes which addressed health and social care for older people at a community level, initially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Understanding these models/initiatives, their key organizational, financial, programmatic, and policy factors will help inform how best communities and countries can plan for sustainable and scaled up approaches, thereby contributing to universal health coverage (UHC) and continuous services for older populations.
