Provincial and Federal Councils for the Elderly
The Provincial and Federal Councils for Older Adults, are representative bodies of organizations and adult citizens over 60 whose central aim is to encourage participation in the decisions and policies to be implemented in the areas of their interest and related to their welfare. The Federal Council is the representative body at the international level, which is comprised of representatives of the Provincial Councils. This structure resulted from what was agreed on at the Mar del Plata Congress, where the National Aging Plan was adopted in which the need for policies, integration and participation for the elderly was met.
