Established in 2011, the Global Alliance for the Rights of Older People was born out of the need to strengthen the rights and voice of older people globally.

Today, GAROP is a network of over 380 members in around 80 countries worldwide, united in our work to strengthen and promote the rights of older persons.

GAROP is governed by a global Steering Group elected by our members and its work is supported by a Secretariat Coordinator.
