The Cordaid project ‘Improved social and income security for older and vulnerable people’ began in September 2009 for a two year period. The overall goal of the project is to improve social and income security for older people in Bangladesh, Tanzania and Uganda.
The approach of the project is to strengthen the demands of older people and wider civil society for improved social and income security for older people at the local, national and regional levels. It aims to build on the Older Citizen’s Monitoring (OCM) approach which enables older people to monitor and advocate for improvements of local government’s service provision.
The report is divided in to three parts: the first provides background and context of each country, the second provides an assessment of progress against the programme objective, and the third part an assessment of the effectiveness of the policy engagement processes.
