D’EP Institut has developed the Diagnosis of the situation of the elderly and the Local Aging Plan of Sant Quirze del Vallès.
To develop the Diagnosis, a search and documentary analysis of the available information has been carried out, 3 in-depth interviews with key agents of the municipality have been conducted, and a working session with the Elderly Board has been held, meeting the set objectives of having analysis on the demographic situation in the municipality, mobility and accessibility, and situations of unwanted loneliness, preparing an inventory and a map of facilities and services for the elderly, identifying intervention experiences and community networks that promote active aging in the territory, and preparing a SWOT analysis of the current situation.
Once all this information has been obtained, the development of the Local Aging Plan has been carried out, conducting two working sessions with the driving group, 5 in-depth interviews with key agents, 4 focus groups/participatory sessions with elderly people from different areas/neighborhoods, preparing a Plan that includes the proposal and detailed description of around 100 actions framed in 4 strategic axes, some of which are already included in other city Plans.

DE’P Institut has developed the "Practical Guide for the Evaluation of Local Health Plans" (PLS) at the request of the Barcelona Provincial Council, in order to have a document that facilitates evaluation and, therefore, assesses the achievement of the set objectives. The guide provides guidelines for planning and carrying out the monitoring and evaluation of the PLS, and also makes recommendations on the dissemination of the results obtained. It is structured into 6 chapters, and in the last one, a list of 10 basic principles to consider in the monitoring and/or evaluation of a PLS is offered.
