INCREASED INCLUSION OF OLDER PERSONS AND AGEING IN KENYAN CITIES PLANNING AND ACTIVITIES
Summary
Older persons and their welfare do not feature in almost all strategies of Kenya Urban planning including housing, mobility sanitation, social protection and access to quality and affordable services. We intend to hold well coordinated, older people lead events where we seek audience with the Council of Governors, city planners and other relevant city officers. We are in the process of participatory policy briefs, position papers and factsheets development for submission during the meetings. The briefs will include all areas of concern and recommended actions. We shall have quarterly follow-up sessions to monitor progress. Results: Reported more accessibility of services by older persons within the city. Increased invitations to participatory activities for older persons'' representatives.
