Improving access to aged care services - Montenegro
In Montenegro, where existing social services are still lacking, the vulnerable ones continue to face numerous barriers to social inclusion. UNDP is making social services tailored to the needs of the most vulnerable, more accessible, and available in all municipalities.
The number of old, lonely and ill people unable to meet their own basic needs continues to grow in rural areas, some of which are not connected by any sort of organized transport. Due to the lack of state-provided services, transportation and proper infrastructure, elderly rural residents are virtually incapacitated in performing everyday tasks - buying groceries, registration of documents, bill payments and taking to the doctor. In many cases, these people lack the benefits of good health and the support of a family.
