Guizhou Aged Care System Development Program

The development objective of the Guizhou Aged Care System Develop Program Project for China is to increase equitable access to a basic package of aged care services and to strengthen the quality of services and the efficiency of the aged care system. The program will expand the coverage of basic aged care services by providing total or partial subsidies for the services included in the basic package. Under the program, coverage will go beyond Tekun (current beneficiaries of publicly financed aged care services) and gradually expand to Dibao beneficiaries, low-income, empty-nest, and senior elderly with functional limitations, including dementia. The program boundary is defined along three dimensions: thematic activities, geographic coverage, and sources of financing.
