Uganda has gradually introduced a state-funded social pension since 2011, helping to lift older people out of poverty. But it has had challenges in registering the right people, raising awareness about the scheme and ensuring people can collect their payments. Addressing these challenges is key to the success of social pensions. HelpAge International is running a project to ensure accountability in these communities, and older people have a key role to play.
I shot and edited this video on the project.
