Fifteen years after the adoption of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, the Meeting will serve as a key regional platform for reviewing the achievements in the implementation of the Madrid Plan of Action and the challenges that remain.

The objectives of the Meeting are:

• To review the progress made in the Asia-Pacific region in the implementation of the Madrid Plan of Action;
• To consider key priorities under each priority direction in the Madrid Plan of Action for the next implementation cycle from 2017 to 2021 in the Asia-Pacific region;
• To identify key areas for regional cooperation to further strengthen the implementation of the Madrid Plan of Action.

 
The outcome of the Meeting will represent the Asia-Pacific input, which will contribute to the global review to be conducted in early 2018 under the auspices of the Commission for Social Development.
