[Report] A Dementia Strategy for Canada: Together We Achieve - 2024 Annual Report
This year's report marks five years since the release of the national dementia strategy and the funding investments to support implementation that resulted in the Dementia Strategic Fund and the Enhanced Dementia Surveillance Initiative at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
The Report continues to track key data points related to the strategy's objectives and notes some positive trends related to some dementia risk factors and efforts related to advancing therapies through research and innovation. It also flags areas where more work is needed in particular, including on reducing the rates of dementia risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity and social isolation.
The report highlights new results from projects funded through the Dementia Community Investment, the Dementia Strategic Fund and the Enhanced Dementia Surveillance Initiative at the Public Health Agency of Canada. The report also shares information about projects funded through other federal government departments such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Employment and Social Development Canada, Health Canada, and Indigenous Services Canada as well as projects led by non-governmental organizations. These projects demonstrate the collective action taking place across Canada to help advance the objectives of the national dementia strategy.
