Award of the Government Council for Older Persons and Population Ageing

Cena Rady vlády pro seniory a stárnutí populace

The objective of the Award of the Government Council for Older Persons and Population Ageing is to recognize and honour individuals, organizations, and other entities for their significant contributions to enhancing the quality of life for seniors and addressing issues related to aging and old age. The main institutions involved are the Council and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MPSV). The Council members nominate candidates for the awards, and a jury composed of representatives from the Council and MPSV evaluates these nominations. The award targets individuals, organizations, and entities that have made notable contributions to senior citizens' well-being. It is a national initiative, covering the entire country. The policy includes a nomination and evaluation process. Council members submit nominations, which are then assessed by a jury. The awards aim to highlight and promote efforts that improve seniors' lives and address ageing issues. The first edition of the Award was celebrated in 2013, when the policy was established. The recognition activities are ongoing, with regular evaluations and awards.
