Pathways for Transformation
MACRO LEVEL
At the national level, we engage senior citizens in relevant policy advocacy (pension & healthcare reforms).
MESO LEVEL
At the community/institutional level, we lobby and engage organizations and institutions to tailor their products, services and commitment to the needs of senior citizens.
MICRO LEVEL
At the individual level, we empower senior citizens to enjoy a good quality of life in areas including health, economic well-being and socio-political engagement.
Who We Are
The Association of Ghana’s Elders (AGE) is a unique organization founded with the aim of addressing the concerns of senior citizens, advancing and promoting their interests through diverse innovations. We aim to rally senior citizens as a powerful bloc of stakeholders across multiple platforms on which they can engage productively for self, community and nation.
Help Us Empower Senior Citizens
This year, the Association of Ghana’s Elders (AGE) means business! We are rallying others to collaborate and we are committed to doing more for seniors.
Partner with us to support us financially or materially, offer platforms for us to share our work, let’s work on research together, point us to other resources for learning, funding etc. We’re open to them all.

Testimonials
Mr. Alex Sackey-Addo
Osu Presby & SRG Old Girls and Boys Association (OPSROGBA)
I was privileged to be invited by AGE to participate in the Accra International Marathon (AIM) organized in 2018. Participating in this has helped senior citizens to be very active. AGE has also brought a lot of enlightenment to OPSROGBA. As a result of the social interactions with AGE one of our members has started snail farming which is progressing well. I am also in serious backyard vegetable garden and honey production and marketing. There is enough awareness creation and sensitization of members to engage in things they can do to reduce loneliness.
