Since 1975 the Plan, which has guided the activities of the Region's health ministries and the Pan American Health Organization, has empha- sized specific improvements in health status and the delivery of health care as well as technical cooperation from international and bilateral agencies. In the middle and late 1970s the social and economic thinking of the Region's develop- ing countries began to change. No longer could specific disease control programs go un- related and often in conflict with each other; no longer could events in the health sector be isolated from those in other developmental spheres; no longer could technical assis- tance from abroad be a satisfactory substitute for efforts by the developing countries individually and collectively. The need for change in the way the Region's countries try to advance their health status found ever clearer expression toward the end of the decade. This evolution in strategies for improving the health of the developing world culmi- nated in the IV Special Meeting of Ministers of Health of the Americas in 1977 and the International Conference on Primary Health Care at Alma-Ata, U.S.S.R., the following year. Primary health care, as defined at the Conference, implies rnt merely basic health care but also technical cooperation among developing countries, community participa- tion in health activities, the use of appropriate technology to achieve universal health care coverage, and articulation of health with other developmental sectors. Thus, health for all people by the year 2000 is now the fundamental goal of the Region's'nations. Technical cooperation means that the developing countries guide their own advance- ment in all spheres including health, instead of relying on the external guidance implicit in the now outdated concept of technical assistance. Community participation, which is the community-scale equivalent of technical cooperation among developing countries, expresses the new awareness of planners that progress in health cannot be decreed from above but will only come about if the citizens for whom health programs

Thesis Advisor Nicole Webster Associate Professor of Youth and International Development and African Studies. Director of the 2iE-Penn State Centre for Collaborative Engagement in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Comparative and International Education Faculty (CIED), College of Education John Holst Associate Professor of Education, College of Education Mark Brennan Professor and UNESCO Chair in Community, Leadership, and Youth Development Director of Graduate Studies, Agricultural and Extension Education and Applied Youth, Family, and Community Education iii ABSTRACT The 21st century faces sociodemographic, educational, and economic challenges associated with the global increase in older adult populations and a decrease in the number of children. National and international organizations have called for spaces for all ages, with more age-inclusive policies and support services. Here, the concept of intergenerational (IG) solidarity is seen as a crucial element in the development and wellbeing of all generations (Stuckelberger & Vikat, 2007; WHO, 2007). Chile is not exempt from this call for paying increased attention to the needs of the young and the old. During the last few decades, public policies and programs have been developed to protect and provide opportunities for both older adults and children to increase their social participation and interaction, and to empower them in the exercise of their rights.
