| Overview : Note: Deadline extended. Dear Bidder, We kindly request you to submit your Proposal for Consultancy for Age Friendly_ Preparations Towards an Aged Nation by 2030. In ensuring that Malaysia is prepared in moving towards an aged nation by 2030, UNDP Malaysia is supporting the Government through a partnership with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (MWFCD) and in collaboration with Municipal Council of Taiping (MPT) to strategically contribute to an initiative to develop an age friendly framework and local action plan for one of the ageing cities in Malaysia, which is in Taiping, Perak. This initiative is in line with the World Health Organisation Guidelines on Age Friendly Cities andSDG 11 on Sustainable Cities and Communities. The project is currently on-going with a local Research Team, the Malaysian Research Institute on Ageing (MyAgeing™), who is undertaking the technical assessment through surveys among targeted communities including women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons. It is hoped that the assessment would inform the institutionalization of an age friendly environment in city planning and integration of action plans into local development plans. In ensuring inclusive participation from the community as well as buy-in from the local council, a series of public on-ground campaign is needed to facilitate the launch of the survey. With the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures in place, an innovative approach for a public on-ground campaign is all the more relevant to ensure the voices of the local communities are taken into account. Please be guided by the form attached hereto as Annex 2 in preparing your Proposal. Do ensure that the financial proposal is separated with password protected.
