<p>The UK Government recognises that older people experience a range of complex barriers
in developing countries around the globe.</p><p>DFID’s vision is a world where all
people, in all stages of their lives, are engaged, empowered and able to exercise
their rights. Ageing is an important factor in our efforts to tackle extreme poverty,
ensure inclusion and in our approach to ‘leave no-one behind’. For example, DFID’s
Disability Inclusion Strategy and Strategic Vision for Gender Equality take a life-course
approach, ensuring the delivery of transformative change for people all ages.</p><p>We
are also supporting governments to make vital social protection systems more inclusive
of older people. In Uganda, DFID continues to build on its partnership with the Government
of Uganda to deliver a Senior Citizen Grant. The grant currently supports over 168,000
older people with a cash transfer to help meet their nutritional and healthcare needs.</p>
