The Programme aims to create an environment that meets the needs of the elderly.

Institutions participating in the initiative are required to meet three basic criteria, namely, the structural design of the building and its vitality, facilities and services and empowerment, inclusion and participation of the elderly.

The Executive Office, in cooperation with the participating institutions and departments is keen to develop the environment surrounding the elderly and improve the services provided to them.
