Action Plan for Improving the Situation of Senior Citizens "Active Longevity" until 2025

План мероприятий по улучшению положения граждан старшего поколения «Активное долголетие» до 2025 года

The "Active Longevity" Action Plan aims to enhance the well-being and quality of life of older citizens. The primary objectives include improving the financial status of older adults, increasing their employment opportunities, providing family support, enhancing health-care services, and promoting social integration through leisure activities and modernizing public consciousness around ageing. The plan also focuses on strengthening the social services sector and providing emergency support for older individuals. The plan was initiated by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Kazakhstan, with technical assistance provided by UNFPA in Kazakhstan. The plan covers all regions of Kazakhstan, targeting older population, their families, and relevant support systems. The initiatives aim to affect multiple sectors including health care, social services, and employment. One of the central elements of the plan is the establishment of "Active Longevity Centres" across Kazakhstan's regions. The Department of Social Assistance Policy Development is required to submit a consolidated report on the progress of the Action Plan's implementation to the Minister annually, no later than February 15 of the year following the reporting year. The action plan was approved on February 22, 2021, and will be implemented until 2025.
