  • Challenges they face in their daily lives.
  • Achievements made in strengthening services and respect for older persons.
  • Steps being taken by the Government, stakeholders, and communities to improve the quality of life for older persons in Tanzania.

Importance of Older Persons’ Participation

Older persons are a national treasure. Their participation in social, political, and economic matters is essential for peace, solidarity, and sustainable development. This year’s theme emphasizes the need to ensure that older persons are not left behind but are fully engaged in elections and in shaping the future of the nation.


? AFRIWAG remains committed to working hand in hand with the Government and development partners to promote the rights, dignity, and well-being of older persons — for the benefit of both current and future generations.
