ABSTRACT

This chapter shows how co-investigation with older people over a one-week training period substantially aids the identification of key issues for further research regarding older people's lives and mobility patterns. Initial work with the OPRs shows how many older people gain access to services indirectly through both adults and children in the community: young people carry their messages, collect medicines, go to the grinding mill and help carry water and firewood. At the same time older people often have to care for and in large part support young grandchildren. The OPRs' work of the subsequent qualitative and survey research suggests that the symbiotic relationships which develop in the difficult contexts, for the most part of benefit all concerned. The involvement of the OPRs as co-investigators have certainly improves knowledge of older people's mobility issues and the extent to which the mobilities of older and younger generations are intertwined in Kibaha district.
