Step 2.3 – Identify opportunities for collaboration
As part of your assessment, consider how other programmes can help to inform what you’re doing.
Creating partnerships and connections
One of the keys to a successful age friendly plan is to connect your work to other key strategies and projects.
You may have already identified other local groups you could work with in step 1 – as well as these, you might want to look more broadly at existing programmes that could fit with your work.
Some useful programmes and resources to help with this include:
- Safe Communities
- 8 80 cities
- Comparison of place-based programmes with the World Health Organization’s Age-friendly Cities and Communities model [PDF, 949KB]
- Alzheimers New Zealand’s Dementia Friendly Communities toolkit [PDF, 1.42MB]
- WHO’s Checklist of Essential Features of Age-friendly Cities [PDF, 223KB]
- Child friendly cities.
