Colleagues,
Please see a notice forwarded to us by our newest member, Ranjit, for another virtual town hall this coming Friday given by the International Federation on Ageing (IFA), on ways to "better integrate older older people into decision-making processes nationally and in intergovernmental agencies such a s the United Nations. Given our recent experience with the COVID pandemic, it might be crucial for us to find ways to have a meaningful voice in the public health process. I hope some of you will join.
We will also post the information on our calendar and website.
You will also find below links to the recording of the previous session, detailing the impressive work of the Janaseva Foundation in Pune, India.
Thank you, Ranjit, for sharing this information with us.
Rgds,
Mac

Greetings,
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, UN and WHO leaders have expressed concern about the devastating impact on older people, communities and societies. Though progress is being made in elevating the voices of older people through advocates in civil society, Mr. Rio Hada and Ms. Amal Abou Rafeh explore ways forward which may better integrate older people into decision-making processes nationally and in intergovernmental agencies such as the United Nations.
