Description

The Government of Uganda recognizes that as people attain old age, they should enjoy dignified life. It is for this reason that Government is determined to enhance the recognition of the contribution of older persons and to eliminate all forms of neglect, abuse and violence.
The National Plan of Action for older persons includes various interventions at various levels, which will ensure improved quality of life of older persons. It emphasizes utilization of community based interventions to address their concerns and needs. This therefore requires local Governments to use bottom up approach to address their needs.
