Non-State Actor meeting

Ahead of the WHO 75th session, EFAD, together with other non-State actors (NSAs) from across the WHO European Region, gathered for a pre-RC engagement meeting to discuss how to take collaboration to the next level under the Second European Programme of Work (EPW2). As well as how the forthcoming WHO European Strategy on Ageing is Living: Promoting a Lifetime of Health and Well-being (2026–2030) can become a shared platform for partnership — tackling ageism, strengthening community-based care and creating environments that enable older people to live with dignity, connection and purpose.

EFAD endorsed joint statements by non-state actors on Ageing in Living, the Child and Adolescents Health Strategy and the EPW2.
