Connecting Solutions: Mapping Unwanted Loneliness

Connecting Solutions: Mapping Unwanted Loneliness

Unwanted loneliness is emerging as a complex and increasingly visible challenge in contemporary societies, affecting people from teenagers to older adults, and appearing with different nuances across the life course. Given its growing relevance, several countries and cities around the world are acting. At the UNDP Accelerator Lab in Argentina, we mapped a wide variety of solutions. Many of these initiatives rely on simple, low-cost, small-scale interventions that are easy to test and replicate across different contexts. Our aim is to learn from them.
