2. Social protection is failing to support vulnerable people in Asia, says new study by the Asian Development Bank. Read more!

3. HelpAge network campaigning for improved rights for older people in Nepal. Read the compelling story by HelpAge partner, Ageing Nepal.

4. Want to conduct a cost-benefit analysis? Find the new guidelines — developed by the East Asia and Pacific regional office — and learn how to increase your organisation’s accountability and funding.

5. Read the latest PensionWatch briefing on pensions in China. The briefing describes three phases of pension development in China — from a narrow focus on formal sector workers to the recent drive for universal coverage.

Each month we introduce you to a colleague from around the world. This month please meet: Maria Isabel Rivera

«I have worked at HelpAge’s regional office in Latin America based in La Paz, Bolivia for the last three years as regional communications officer.

«During my time with HelpAge I have done a big professional step: Moving from national to regional action and focus. This meant the beginning of a new international career and at the same time working with and for one of the most vulnerable groups in our society, older people.

«I have over 20 years of working experience in campaigning for social change at local, national and regional level both within the public and private sector.»
