The Madrid Plan lists the objectives and recommendations determined by the Second World Assembly on Ageing 2002.
Three main priorites are presented
- older persons and development
- advancing health and wellbeing into old age
- enabling and supportive environments
The plan aims to allow policy makers to focus on the key issues associated with ageing. It calls for changes in attitudes, policies and practices, in order to include ageing in global development agendas, to see development as a right of the elderly and to see an end to age discrimination.
