This discussion paper aims to operationalise the concept of 'voice and meaningful engagement' in the context of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing, as well as outline some possible opportunities for integrating such an approach across all of the action areas of the UN Decade. Voice and meaningful engagement is one of the enablers of the UN Decade and key towards ensuring that older people are at the centre of all that we do to transform the world to be a better place to grow older. This paper is a starting point rather than a definitive document, and all feedback to improve it is welcome. (From the website). Record #8524
