The 2024 Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Population Ageing (APRCOPA), organized by HelpAge International in collaboration with Indonesia’s Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) held on 11-13 September 2024. Under the theme “Reframing Ageing,” the conference brought together stakeholders from 38 countries, providing a dynamic platform for exchanging experiences, exploring innovative approaches, and fostering meaningful relationships.
As part of APRCOPA, the Local Government Forum (LGF) and a dinner were hosted on 11 September 2024, by BAPPENAS and the Australian Government through the SKALA Program, with support from HelpAge International. The event was attended by around 400 stakeholders.
The dinner began with a food parade, followed by a three-course Western Set Menu exquisitely prepared by our talented chefs. The evening’s agenda included experience-sharing sessions, talk shows, discussions, entertainment, and concluded with the announcement of the best questioner.
APRCOPA remains a vital platform for addressing the challenges and opportunities related to population ageing in the Asia-Pacific region.
