AGE has recently produced an AGE Toolkit in order to improve civil dialogue in the framework of the Open Method of Coordination on Social Protection and Social Inclusion (OMC/SPSI). The tool-kit provides user-friendly information on:
What is the Open Method of Coordination?
How is the OMC applied in the field of social protection and social inclusion?
What has happened so far?
How can civil dialogue with older people’s organisations be enhanced in the 2008-2010 OMC/SPSI?
Official EU Guidelines for Member States to prepare the National Strategy Reports 2008-2010;
Timetable 2008-2010 of the OMC.
In order to ensure that older people’s views and expectations are better reflected in the next round of National Strategic Reports, the toolkit will be disseminated as widely as possible to a wide range of stakeholders: older people’s organisations, other NGOs following the EU social protection and social inclusion process, as well as to the public authorities at all levels involved in drafting, implementing and evaluating the OMC consultation.
