Working Group on Aging and Achieving a First Demographic Dividend in Africa
Program: Aging and Development
The working group, a partnership initiative of APHRC, the African Union Department of Social Affairs and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa Social Development Policy Division, brings together 17 relevant experts and role players from academia, civil society and policy, spanning the fields of development, youth, ageing, demography, economics and ageing.
