Implementing Madrid Plan of Action on Ageing: What learnings in the last 15 years? What future directions?
Tumblr media
Abbreviations
Abbreviations: MIPAA: Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing; DHS: Demographic and Health Surveys; MICS: Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey; AAI: Active Ageing Index; ECE: Economic Commission for Europe
Short Communication
It's no secret that the world's population is aging. As fertility declines and life expectancy increases, the proportion of people in older ages is projected to grow in all regions of the world. Therefore, it is increasingly important to develop metrics that assess the effectiveness of policies and programmes affecting older people. The Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA), developed in 2002, is central to this measurement agenda. It set out three priorities to guide countries in their policies:
a) Older persons and development (in particular
promoting social protection).
b) Advancing health and well-being into old age.
c) Ensuring enabling and supportive environments.
Fifteen years later, it is timely to assess the effectiveness of the Madrid Plan and indeed reviewing it is a theme of the next UN Commission for Social Development. The MIPAA started with great promise as one of the only international policy frameworks to focus on older people. The latest UN review of MIPAA shows that despite progress in policy formulations, its implementation remains uneven across countries and the three policy priority directions. Major constraints include lack of resources, political will and data.
So, what have we learned from the process? What do we need to do now?
The MIPAA experience so far offers one major lesson: its monitoring lacked a comprehensive global approach. This was partly because of lack of age-disaggregated data in many countries, but mainly for the fact that the MIPAA monitoring toolkit has not been properly developed. In such introspection, another critical question is: how MIPAA stays relevant when the international community is committed instead to its newest and most comprehensive policy framework to date, the 2030 Agenda of sustainable development.
MIPAA Monitoring Lacks a Comprehensive Global Approach
While progress is being made in the implementation of the MIPAA, there is no comprehensive global approach towards its monitoring. Metrics are an area that some feel was underdeveloped in the Plan. This in turn has led to a disproportionate submission of anecdotal, descriptive and self-defined information, with little evaluation of the relationship between outputs and policy impact. In particular, the limited use of indicators in national reporting has hampered comparisons of country-level progress. Such inconsistency and varied reporting is unsurprising in such a voluntary system. A specific example is on reporting progress towards sensitising and reducing elder abuse. Nordic and Western European countries introduced programmes that led to increased reporting and development of policies to prevent violence against older persons.
In contrast, very limited information is available in many Eastern European countries on the extent of violence, abuse and neglect of older persons. Even where data are available, cases are often underreported and prevention policies are lacking. Greater national capacities are needed: not only to design comprehensive policies for the older population but also to provide specific guidelines in assessing their progress. Detailed guidance on data collection, including timescales for reporting, is an area where investment will have significant impacts on the success of the MIPAA. This is even more important now that demographic aging has taken hold within developing as well as developed countries.
Lack of Age-Disaggregated data has been a Major Constraint
Fundamental to the successful implementation of the MIPAA is reliable country-level data collection and research, areas for which there was little guidance in the MIPAA's recommendations. In developing countries, the lack of data disaggregated by age and sex for even basic sociodemographic and health indicators is acute and makes tracking implementation of the MIPAA difficult. For example, in the majority of African countries, much of the available data are for younger age groups. Data that is especially important to older persons. It is not surprising that many African countries were not represented in Help Age International's Global Age Watch Index. Part of the problem lies in the fact that many surveys stop short of collecting data on older persons. USAID's Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and UNICEF's Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) serve as two of the biggest tools for generating global statistics and they focus mainly on children and women under the age of 49. There could be the option of removing the age-cap in these existing global surveys, as has been done by South Africa.
However, a more desirable option will be that countries invest in collecting data using the specialised survey instruments and methodologies to collect data on older men and women. The new national survey on older persons in Iran, to be conducted during 2018, is a good practice example in this respect where policymaking communities in a resource-constrained country appreciate the value of high-quality evidence base on older people. The formation of the new UN Titchfield City Group on Ageing and Age-disaggregated data provides us a unique opportunity to ensure that countries learn from each other in the collection of age-disaggregated data and monitor progress in the implementation of the MIPAA.
The MIPAA Monitoring took it needs to be Developed
I believe an investment in global assessment tools is also vital to ensure that the MIPAA is implemented seriously. I suggest that a dashboard of indicators aligned with the key priorities of the MIPAA - including an adaptation of the Active Ageing Index (AAI) - should serve as the toolkit for monitor MIPAA implementation in the future. The composite AAI will help point to priority countries by comparing the index value. The dashboard of indicators can then help identify in which areas a country is doing well (or falling short) and what learnings can be drawn from the good global policy practices.
The AAI comprises 22 indicators, organised around four domains:
a) Employment;
b) Social Participation;
c) Independent, healthy and secure living and
d) Capacity and enabling environment for active ageing.
The AAI indicators are disaggregated by gender and in large part focus on people aged over 55. The AAI evidence can be summarised in an aggregated country-level score, facilitating global comparisons and the production of a league table. It identifies contexts in which older people fare better, and point to policy interventions that are effective in empowering older people and ensuring their rights. The AAI indicators was used by the UN Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) in the third cycle review of MIPAA, starting in 2015, to reflect the outcomes of ageing policies and to measure the untapped potential of older people. The latest AAI results for European countries show that Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and Iceland are at the top of the ranking, followed closely by Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, the UK and Ireland.
Future Directions for MIPAA Implementation
I believe that the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda have put ageing back onto the international development agenda. The two pledges made, 'Leaving no one behind' and 'Reaching the furthest behind first', give us a strong momentum to seek inclusion of older people in all policymaking. We are therefore aspiring to live in a world in which no development process is complete without the objective of the promotion of quality of life of vulnerable groups of society, such as the older population, and where the older population's participation make them key contributors to the development process (Figure 1).

Margaret of Anjou, Queen of England (1430–1482) On 25th August 1482, a fifty-two year old woman died in poverty at Dampierre Castle, France. Wholly dependent on the charity of her King, Louis XI. Her father's death two years previously, left her destitute. Her will requested the King to sell her meagre possessions in part payment of her debts. The remainder she asked him to settle on her behalf. Yet this woman had once been a Royal bride. A Queen. Mother of a future King of England. A country where she was reviled, deemed a She-wolf, an unnatural woman. Margaret was born on 23rd March 1430, into a title rich, cash poor French noble family. She was no stranger to conflict or privation. Niece of Queen Marie of France. Daughter of the nominative King and Queen of Sicily, Naples and Jerusalem, Duke of Maine and Anjou, Duchess of Lorraine. Her parents were often away fighting for their rights. She was raised by her grandmother Yolande of Aragon, the power behind the Dauphin. These women taught her that women could raise armies and fight. Lessons that would become valuable in later life. Her marriage was negotiated by the Earl of Suffolk, to bring peace between England and France. Following a proxy ceremony in Tours, she journeyed across France, setting sail in early April 1445. She arrived in England on 9th April, a fifteen year old bride for King Henry VI, eight years her senior. Henry eager for a glimpse, disguised himself as a page and delivered her a letter. Not recognising him, she kept him on his knees until she had read it. He was apparently delighted with her. They married at Titchfield Abbey on 22nd April and Margaret was crowned on 30th April at Westminster Abbey. She soon had a strong influence over her husband. She would collude with Suffolk and the rising Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, to persuade him to support their policies. In 1447 she was involved in the plot that removed Henry's uncle, Humphrey Duke of Gloucester, from power. Letters survive, as evidence that she conspired with Charles VII to persuade Henry to release Maine and Anjou to France, in 1448. The English nobility, quickly began to resent her influence. They protested that Suffolk had negotiated an inferior marriage, Margaret was “only a King's niece by marriage”. Henry had known her dower was worthless, yet accepted it. Her father possessed Minorca and Majorca in name only. Unable to fund his daughter's voyage, England had paid the bill. These grievances lead to factions forming. The war in France was going badly and was costly. Henry lacked his father's martial abilities and ambitions. Margaret was blamed for persuading him not to send troops when his Lieutenant in France, the Duke of York requested them. Hostilities had resumed when King Charles began taking back land in 1449. By the end of the year, York had been recalled and sent to Ireland for his failure. As putative heir to the throne following the death of Gloucester, York was bound to resent this. In 1450 this growing dissatisfaction was aired in parliament. Suffolk and Somerset were impeached. Somerset was jailed but the nobles wanted Suffolk's head. Henry refused and banished him but he was murdered on his voyage to France. The Queen's grief added fuel to the rumours that she was Suffolk's lover. Likely a groundless accusation, used as a political weapon during the ensuing Wars of the Roses. The Jack Cade rebellion followed soon after. The rebels were ordinary men who joined with disaffected minor nobles to march on London, where they were refused admittance by the citizens. Despite Henry forgiving them all, the unrest continued until Cade's death in July 1450. York was suspected of being involved. He was recalled from Ireland to answer to parliament in August. He convinced them of his innocence and returned to Royal favour for a short time. York's proximity might have been unsettling for the childless Margaret. Her position was precarious if anything happened to Henry. A medieval Queen's main role was filling the Royal nursery. She wanted a child, and took pilgrimages to Canterbury and Walsingham in the ten years before she conceived. We have no idea what caused the delay. Either could have had a physical problem. They may have chosen to delay consummation until Margaret was physically mature. Margaret might have suffered multiple miscarriages. The Duke and Duchess of York experienced similar problems. By early 1453 Margaret was pregnant. However her pregnancy was overshadowed by the loss of Bordeaux in July. Calais remained the only English territory of the French lands Henry's father and uncles had fought for. This loss seemed to tip the balance for Henry. He collapsed into a catatonic state. Margaret, aided by Somerset initially took the reigns, hiding his illness. The King's doctors expected him to recover quickly. He was still unresponsive when she went into confinement in September. And after his son, Edward of Westminster's birth on 13th October 1453. Margaret was in a difficult position, as the rumours that the child was Somerset's could not be dispelled until Henry recognised the child as his. Following a futile attempt to rouse the King in late January, Margaret made a move to become Regent.She presented a bill to parliament in February 1454. Parliament instead appointed York as Protector of England. Margaret and Edward, joined Henry at Windsor. Somerset was imprisoned in the Tower. York invested the infant Edward as Prince of Wales in June 1454, suggesting things were not difficult between himself and the Queen at this time. In late December 1454, Henry awoke as suddenly as he collapsed. Having recognised his son, he rode to London within days and ended York's protectorate. At somepoint in the following months Margaret became suspicious of York. The King called a Great Council in Leicester during the summer of 1455. York and his supporters were excluded. He raised an army and marched toward's London. Meeting the King at St Albans. Henry refused to hear him. York attacked and was victorious. Somerset, Percy and Clifford were killed. York captured the King. He was the power behind the throne for much of the following three years. The Queen had no scope to oppose him left the Tower, where she had taken refuge. However she continued intriguing with her supporters to regain Royal authority. In 1458 Henry took steps to reconcile all parties. He declared 25th March as a “Love-Day”. A public ceremony where both factions walked hand in hand into St Paul's for a blessing. Margaret walked hand in hand with York. The peace did not last. In October 1458, an attempted assasination of Richard, Earl of Warwick, York's nephew by marriage, took place. Warwick fled Westminster for Calais and began raising troops. His father the Earl of Salisbury and York did likewise in the North and Wales. Margaret took the steps of issuing calls to arms on behalf of the King. In 1459, her army defeated the Yorkists Blore Heath, then routed York, his eldest son Edward, Earl of March, Salisbury, and Warwick at Ludlow. She then issued attainders and seized their lands. The Yorkists raised armies in Calais and Ireland, and defeated the Royal army at Northampton in June 1460. Her husband was back in York's hands and her son would soon be disinherited by parliament in his favour. Margaret did not have long to wait for revenge. She fled to Wales and then Scotland where she raised an army. She was soon marching south. A surprise attack saw York killed at the Battle of Wakefield on 31st December. Salisbury was captured and beheaded. York's second son, Edmund of Rutland, was murdered after the battle, by Lord Clifford. Their heads were set up on Micklegate Bar, York. Margaret's actions after Wakefield, added fuel to the fire. Edward, Earl of March, Richard, Earl of Warwick and his brother John would seek revenge for the deaths of their fathers. Edward took the first victory at Mortimers Cross on 2nd February 1461. Margaret then defeated Warwick at 2nd St Albans on 1th February. She freed the King and marched to London. However her Captain's had failed to control their troops as they marched South. The citizens of London refused her entry, fearful of the harm they would cause. She turned north, allowing Edward, Earl of March to enter London. He was proclaimed King Edward IV on 4th March 1461. Edward then trounced the Lancastrians at Towton on Easter Monday 1462. Edward had the ability to move swiftly, and surprised the retreating army. Henry, Margaret and their son fled to Scotland. From there, she and Edward went to France to petition her nephew Louis XI for aid. After intervention from his mother, he agreed in return for Calais. Margaret had seriously misjudged, not understanding the English attitude to Calais. She returned to England in October 1462 with an army of 500 French soldiers. Her invasion was troubled from the start. She was finally defeated at Hexham in May 1464. She was lucky to survive, having been set upon by robbers in the forest as she fled. Henry was captured 1465, having been found wandering, confused on the Yorkshire moors. Edward kept him in genteel confinement in the Tower. Margaret returned to France, spending her time unsuccessfully petitioning her nephew for aid. Louis ignored her pleas. Seeing an opportunity to make mischief he changed his mind in 1470. Edward IV and Warwick's relationship had irretrievably broken down. Louis brokered peace between Margaret and Warwick. Although she kept him kneeling for over quarter of an hour, she realised Warwick was vital to her plans. She also agreed to her son Edward marrying Warwick's youngest daughter Ann. Warwick set sail first, surprising Edward IV, who fled into exile in Burgundy. Warwick freed King Henry and crowned him again. The Lancastrians enjoyed a brief period in the sun. Their natural suspicions of Warwick, likely influenced their loyalty. By the time Margaret, Edward and Ann landed in England on 18 April 1461, Warwick was dead. The Battle of Barnet had taken place on the previous day. Henry had been recaptured and Edward IV was ready to reclaim his throne. Margaret chose to fight on. Planning to cross the Severn and rendezvous with the Welsh troops of Jasper Tudor. What followed was a game of cat and mouse across the South and West of England. Edward leading his troops on a forced march to block Margaret. He succeeded, sending messengers ahead, ordering city gates and bridges closed to her army. He pinned the Lancastrians down at Tewkesbury on 4th May 1471. Margaret's son was killed in the ensuing battle, aged seventeen and with him, her purpose. Edward's retribution against the Lancastrian army was swift and harsh. The leaders taking sanctuary in the Abbey were dragged out and slain. Some without trial. Margaret returned to London in Edward's train. Not a triumphant Queen but a pitiful prisoner. Driven slowly through the streets and pelted with rubbish by the angry populace. Her husband died that night, in suspicious circumstances. Although it was announced he had “died of a broken heart”. Margaret initially confined to the Tower was released into the custody of her friend, the Duchess of Suffolk. She was ransomed to France as part of the peace deal between Edward and Louis in 1476, for 50,000 crowns.

From behind the scenes at Westbury manor.
Things are happening. Great internal colours in keeping with the building. A fab new cafe underway. An Inviting new hard landscaped frontage to entice you in and enjoy.
Wonderful exhibition areas with informative history of Fareham borough including Porchester, Titchfield and the manor house it's self. An area of curiosities that Christine Taylor the curator of natural science (bugs, rocks, fossils etc) is putting together at present.
Some old favourites will be there, one being the strawberry cart that is under wraps as it would have been almost impossible to remove. MORE TO COME.....................
