effectively, and to better understand the impact and cost of dementia. 10/66 Dementia Research Group ADI previously convened the now defunct 10/66 Dementia Research Group. The group aimed to develop data on the number of people living with dementia around the world, particularly in low-and-middle-income countries. Publications ADI publishes reports and position papers on a number of topics relating to dementia. World Alzheimer Report The World Alzheimer Reports are a comprehensive source of global socioeconomic information on dementia which are published each year on a different topic. From Plan to Impact Following the adoption of the Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia (See Policy), ADI has tracked the progress of WHO Member States towards achieving the targets of the seven action areas of the Global Action Plan through its report series: From Plan to Impact. These reports have been typically launched as side events at the WHO’s World Health Assembly in Geneva, both in-person and virtually. Accreditation In 2021, ADI launched an accreditation programme aiming to support the improvement of care for people with dementia and reduce the variation in the quality of care provided. Successful completion of an evaluation of carers, care trainers and providers of training programmes can result in ADI accreditation, meaning that the training and learning activities have reached the required integrity and quality at all levels. Conferences ADI hosts the longest running international conference on dementia. These biennial events often occur in collaboration with ADI member associations. The conferences seek to bring together researchers, scientists, clinicians, allied healthcare professionals, people living with dementia, family members, care professionals, and staff and volunteers of Alzheimer associations. Since the adoption of the WHO Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia (See Policy), the theme of the conference has centred around the seven action areas of the Global Action Plan.
