The UN Decade of Healthy Ageing is a unique opportunity to take concerted action to create a world where all people can live long and healthy lives. To do so effectively, stakeholders need to know which interventions are supported by evidence, which are not, and which need more research.

Evidence and gap maps are interactive tools that help researchers and decision makers discover existing evidence on a given topic, find solutions supported by evidence, and identify gaps in the evidence where more research is required. WHO is developing evidence and gap maps as part of a multi-year project to summarise, disseminate, and increase uptake of evidence towards deeper integration in policies and practices during the Decade.

Evidence and gap maps are essential tools to strengthen data, research, and innovation and achieve the aims of the Decade. Explore the available maps on this page, which will continue to be updated as new resources are made available.
