[IFA Global Cafe] Conversation w/ Dr. Sara Ulla Díez on the Importance of Evaluation in the Growth of Age-friendly Communities

IFA Global Cafe: In Conversation with Dr. Sara Ulla Díez on the Importance of Evaluation in the Growth of Age-friendly Communities

In 2007, the WHO launched the Age-Friendly Communities (AFCs) initiative to promote a more thoughtful approach to the development of communities that could advance the well-being of individuals of all ages. In recent years, age-friendly communities around the world are meeting new milestones and are turning their attention to the crucial need for evaluation and the establishment of strong evaluative frameworks.

As an experienced research director and statistics advisor, Dr. Sara Ulla Díez has dedicated more than 20 years to evaluation and applied research in health and international cooperation for development.
