The Ministerial Committee on Ageing (MCA) in Singapore has launched the 2023 Action Plan for Successful Ageing to address the evolving needs and aspirations of current and future seniors.

To cater to the greater diversity in experiences, aspirations and needs of Singaporeans, the refreshed Action Plan formulates an extensive set of many ground-up responses towards ageing which involves many people-private-public sector initiatives. In the process of developing the measures, the Government has engaged over 5,000 Singaporeans through more than 40 engagement sessions starting in 2019 to co-create the 2023 Action Plan and its new initiatives.
