A/HRC/41/32 for country-level action to implement initiatives aimed at combating all forms of age discrimination against older persons in employment, promoting youth employment and the socioeconomic inclusion of persons of all ages and addressing the vulnerability of young people to higher unemployment and lower quality of jobs and to longer and more insecure school-to-work transitions. A sample survey of existing United Nations Development Assistance Frameworks indicates that older persons are often included among the vulnerable groups in the common country assessments. In several Frameworks, collaboration with the United Nations in the areas of social protection and care for older persons was identified as a priority. III. Experiences and practices in technical cooperation and capacity-building in support of State efforts to promote and protect the human rights of older persons 14. In this section, examples are provided of technical cooperation and capacity-building activities by United Nations system entities in support of State efforts to promote and protect the human rights of older persons. A few relevant initiatives by Member States, national human rights institutions and civil society organizations are also highlighted, many of which were undertaken in coordination with United Nations entities. A. Support for policy and legal frameworks 15. In order to support Member States’ commitment to realizing the human rights of older persons, entities of the United Nations system provided policy and technical advice and facilitated the exchange of experiences in the development of national policies and strategies, legal reform and the implementation of relevant programmes, including those related to the Sustainable Development Goals. 16. The Working Group on Ageing, a subsidiary body of the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), adopted its programme of work for 2018–2022, which is aligned with the 2030 Agenda and responds to the main goals of the 2017 Lisbon Ministerial Declaration, in which States members of ECE reaffirmed their commitment to fulfilling the Regional Implementation Strategy of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing. The realization of the Plan of Action and its Regional Implementation Strategy contributes to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, in particular Goals 1, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10, in which the connections between the Goals and the priority policy goals agreed upon in the Lisbon Ministerial Declaration are the strongest. The programme of work includes activities in four main areas: (a) organizing policy seminars and in-depth discussions; (b) preparing policy briefs with examples of good practices; (c) capacity-building on ageing-related issues; and (d) monitoring the implementation of the Plan of Action and its Regional Implementation Strategy and strengthening the evidence base for policymaking. 17. The Working Group is making efforts to develop capacity through its project on road maps for mainstreaming ageing. The aim of the project is to provide guidance to individual ECE member States on how to formulate ageing-related policies in response to the Plan of Action and its Regional Implementation Strategy. If programme funding permits, field missions and other activities related to the evaluation and monitoring of road map implementation may be conducted in the Republic of Moldova and Georgia, two countries for which road maps were developed in 2012 and 2015. Similarly, a peer assessment may be conducted of recently developed national policies and strategies on ageing based on the Active Ageing Index. The secretariat of ECE, with the support of the Working Group, is currently working on developing new road maps for Belarus and Kazakhstan. In order to ensure synergy with the 2030 Agenda, future road maps for mainstreaming ageing will be designed to align with the national implementation of the Goals. Furthermore, the Working Group, in cooperation with experts from academia and civil society organizations, will develop more comprehensive guidance for mainstreaming ageing into all relevant policy areas, to be published in 2020.
