The Viseu Dão Lafões Strategy 2030 is a regional strategy managed by CIM VDL. A key axis of it is "Active Aging and Quality of Life for Elderly People and Their Families," aiming to improve life quality, foster autonomy, active aging, and social participation. Relevant strategic objectives include enhancing the quality of life for elderly and dependent individuals and their families (OE1) through integrated, flexible, and technologically advanced service solutions (LA1), and innovative psychosocial support modalities (LA2). Additionally, the strategy aims to strengthen the attractiveness of the area and promote the settlement of new residents (OE4) by developing a territorial promotion program to enhance residential appeal (LA7). Addressing housing needs and combating residential segregation is another priority (OE11), with actions like monitoring housing requirements and promoting energy-efficient, comfortable housing solutions (LA17). These targeted measures aim to enhance life quality and foster community cohesion. The SILVER-UP project will address all of these.

The TFP aims to achieve the County's vision through three overarching objectives, thematic and territorial strategic development objectives, and horizontal objectives. The overarching objectives are: a stable and crisis-resilient competitive economy, livable settlements and an improved environment, and a growing knowledge base. The strategic objectives align with these overarching goals and include developing public services in a climate-friendly way, preventing the marginalization of peripheral internal areas, and making regional (sub)centers more dynamic and accessible. The third priority in the TFP is “Improving public human services.” This goal should be achieved by focusing on the following actions:
3.1. Development of care, education, and cultural systems
3.2. Development of health care systems
3.3. Development of social care systems
3.4 Employment policy interventions
The development of social care systems encompasses improving basic social infrastructure, developing retirement homes, promoting active ageing, and fostering the silver economy.
On the one hand, the County’s aim is to improve the quality and accessibility of the human care system through targeted improvements and on the other hand, to promote the development of the population and skilled labour to stay in the area and respond to the challenges of an ageing society.
