"Operational in Sudan since 1985, HAI seeks to support and implement, with partners,
projects which support the elderly directly, or those who care for the elderly. The current
programme has three key components; an integrated social development project for the
elderly in Carton Barona with SRC; an assistance programme in Juba, implemented with
partner NGO’s; and an Information and Advocacy Programme implemented with the
Sudanese Society for the Care of Older People. HAI also supports the National Committee
for International Year of Older People, chaired by the Ministry of Social Planning. HAI
programmes for 2000 include a new ophthalmic project with the Leprosy Mission/IARA in
West Darfur, a programme of training for Assessment of Nutritional Status in Elderly,
livelihood support protects, and research."
