<p>The UK Government recognises that older people experience a range of complex barriers
to access and are often excluded from humanitarian responses, including those conducted
in conflict zones. The UK is firmly committed to ensuring aid reaches the most marginalised
and vulnerable, including older people, in conflict and humanitarian crises.</p><p>Without
high quality disaggregated data, designing and delivering effective programmes and
responses that are inclusive of older people is almost impossible. That’s why DFID
was one of the first organisations to adopt the Inclusive Data Charter. In March 2019,
we published an <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/leaving-no-one-behind-our-promise/inclusive-data-charter-action-plan#inclusive-data-charter"
target="_blank">Action Plan</a> laying out the next steps we will take to better understand
the situation of the poorest and most marginalised in all contexts and make decisions
that positively impact the lives of people at all ages.</p>
