ALIGN is a multi-country initiative led by HelpAge International that supports governments in strengthening health systems for ageing populations. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the programme was implemented in close partnership with the Provincial Health Department, with FAID serving as a key national partner.
We brought our expertise in ageing, inclusion, and community-based approaches to support the integration of person-centred care for older people, guided by the World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework and targeted non-communicable disease (NCD) interventions. Working closely with the Ministry of Health, we contributed to strengthening frontline health worker capacity, improving equitable access to quality health services for older women and men, and facilitating older people’s meaningful participation in health system planning, social accountability, and policy dialogue.
