On 14 December in Damascus, ESCWA and the Syrian Commission for Population and Family Affairs jointly launched the “National Strategy for Care and Protection of Older Persons 2023-2030.” The event aimed to ensure a dignified life that preserves the rights and human dignity of older persons.
 
During the launch, participants delved into the strategy’s objectives, implementation details, and priority areas including social protection, financial security, healthy ageing, social care, intergenerational solidarity, protection from abuse, and creating an enabling environment.
 
Designed to be the primary response to the needs and priorities of older persons in Syria, the National Strategy (2023-2030) serves as a collaborative tool among stakeholders to safeguard the rights and well-being of older persons.
