The fourth review report on the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing is the result of a joint partnership between UNFPA Arab States and ESCWA. The report is developed based on a consultation with Arab countries to assess current situation and challenges of older persons in the region, on a series of regional virtual dialogue meetings involving multiple actors, including civil society organizations, academics and representatives of Arab parliaments and a regional meeting organized in ESCWA premises that brought together all governmental and non-governmental stakeholders.

The report provides a summary of the most prominent findings from the national review reports submitted by Arab States, describes progress, achievements and challenges in economic support, social development and the health and well-being of older persons and sets out recommendations to accelerate implementation of the aging agenda in the region.
