- Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to contribute to a better development of health policies for the elderly in Burkina Faso. Material and methods: We have done a qualitative cross-sectional study from February to September 2018 in 4 ministerial departments of Burkina Faso (health, human rights, public service and national solidarity). The interviews included non-governmental organisations, associations, technical and financial partners. Inductive approach has used to produce results. Results: A total of 24 key informants were included in the study. Various interventions were implemented differently by the departmental departments. The study identified non-functional interdepartmental consultation frameworks as mechanisms for consultation. These frameworks have not been used in the formulation or implementation of policies for the elderly. Conclusion: National coordination of public policies for the elderly in high level of decision-making is important. The activation of interdepartmental consultation frameworks is a necessity for formulating holistic and complementary interventions for the elderly and even beyond this target group.
