The book explores the persistent issue of old age poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Tanzania, where older individuals constitute a significant portion of the impoverished population. Despite the adoption of international plans for aging and various development goals, the lack of a functional ageing policy and reliance on donor funding hinder effective social protection for the elderly. The discussion highlights the neglect of non-contributory pensions in favor of other policy priorities, revealing a critical gap in addressing the needs of older citizens in a developing context.
