Local authorities in Wales will have access to £1.1m funding to help the country become Age Friendly.
Under the plans, the Welsh Government will take action to champion older people, raise awareness of older people's rights, improve public services and spaces, and tackle age related poverty.
More than £1m is being made available to local authorities to help them become age friendly and involve older people in the design and planning of local services.
Deputy minister for social services, Julie Morgan, said: 'From making sure housing supports people to age well, to creating opportunities to keep healthy and active, this plan outlines how we will work across government and with key partners, including the Older People’s Commissioner, to reject ageism and realise our vision of an age friendly Wales.'
Specific actions included in the Age Friendly Wales: Our Strategy for an Ageing Society are supporting older people to become digitally confident, the continuation of the All Age Apprenticeship Programme and increasing the take up of pension credit.
'There is much to do in creating an age friendly Wales and the plan is rightly broad in scope,' said Age Cymru’s chief executive, Victoria Lloyd.
'Action to tackle poverty and the crippling affects it has on older people’s lives and measures to increase awareness of human rights amongst all of us so that older people can live a life of dignity and one of their own choosing are priorities.'
