This toolkit was developed in Malawi and designed by older women and men living with incontinence, alongside their caregivers, in collaboration with MANEPO. In 2024, older people and caregivers shared the challenges they face with daily self-care. A team from MANEPO then worked with them to develop a step-by-step toolkit to address these daily challenges and provide home-based ways for improving their daily routine and quality of life. Insights and recommendations were also provided by HelpAge International and its Network Members, including Convite A.C. (Venezuela) and HelpAge Tanzania, as well as the older people living with incontinence whom they support.
