Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Community Development
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Age-friendly Cities (AFC) initiatives aim to create supportive environments for older adults.
  • The AFC-Quebec (AFC-QC) project emphasizes a community-building approach centered on collaborative partnerships.
  • Effective implementation requires understanding the conditions and factors that foster successful collaboration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the conditions and factors fostering implementation effectiveness in Quebec's Age-Friendly Cities (AFC-QC).
  • To illustrate the importance of collaborative partnerships using case studies.
  • To identify key elements for successful AFC implementation in a Canadian context.

Main Methods:

  • A community-building approach was adopted for the AFC-QC implementation process.
  • The process involved three steps: social diagnostic, action plan development (logic model), and implementation through collaborations.
  • Two contrasting case studies were used to analyze collaborative partnerships and implementation effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • Stakeholders, agencies, and organizations experienced a new governance model emphasizing coordination and partnership.
  • Collaborative partnership among steering committee members is essential for effective implementation.
  • Senior associations play a vital role but face limitations in independently implementing age-friendly environments.

Conclusions:

  • Collaborative partnership is a critical condition for the success of Age-Friendly Cities initiatives.
  • Key factors for effective implementation include shared governance, coordination, and the involvement of diverse stakeholders.
  • Addressing the capacity limitations of senior associations is important for maximizing the impact of AFC initiatives.
