• Empower older people to stay active and healthy through evidence-based disease and disability prevention programs.
• Ensure the rights of older people and prevent their abuse, neglect and exploitation through adequate Elder Rights Programs.
• Promote effective and responsive management of AoA human capital resources and grants funds through implementing a system of sound financial controls.
