Abstract
Following the IFA conference in Bangkok in 2022, Karen Billings-Jensen from Age Concern New Zealand (ANCZ) and Diane Turner from the Office for Seniors (OFS) returned to New Zealand keen to see the establishment of a broader New Zealand response to the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing.
This paper explores the work since that conference and the establishment of a National Forum and engagement across the older persons sector in New Zealand.
A critical component of the initiative has been the involvement of The Selwyn Foundation who have taken a leadership role in establishing the National Forum and funding a secretariat and coordination work alongside ACNZ and OFS.
A wider leadership group has been established alongside over 30 forum members who have been engaged in the development of a strategic plan until 2030 and the first action plan until 30 July 2026.
The focus and intention are about shaping policy and practice to ensure generational certainty by:
• Driving a uniquely all-of-sector approach supporting collaboration across government, public and private sector, iwi Māori and wider communities
• Promoting active engagement in society so people live longer and healthier lives
• Inspiring a platform for optimistic collaborative action, innovation and meaningful change, that enables a longevity dividend
With a uniquely New Zealand framework, which inspires our Moemoeā/Vision; our Whanonga Pono/Values and our Kaupapa/Purpose, we have collectively developed exciting plan has two outcomes and three strategic priorities which all reflect the UN Decade themes.
This paper will set out the development of the strategic and action plans, explore the over-arching outcomes that have been developed, and the resulting key priority areas, and the subsequent achievements, actions, outputs and measures.

Lorem Ipsum es simplemente el texto de relleno de las imprentas y archivos de texto. Lorem Ipsum ha sido el texto de relleno estándar de las industrias desde el año 1500, cuando un impresor (N. del T. persona que se dedica a la imprenta) desconocido usó una galería de textos y los mezcló de tal manera que logró hacer un libro de textos especimen. No sólo sobrevivió 500 años, sino que tambien ingresó como texto de relleno en documentos electrónicos, quedando esencialmente igual al original. Fue popularizado en los 60s con la creación de las hojas “Letraset”, las cuales contenian pasajes de Lorem Ipsum, y más recientemente con software de autoedición, como por ejemplo Aldus PageMaker, el cual incluye versiones de Lorem Ipsum.
