monitor progress in the global public health response to dementia. Member States took part to a formal consultation on the proposed structure of the GDO. Detailed feedback was given throughout 2016 by hundreds of national and international representatives and focal points. The relevance of the proposed indicators, and the feasibility and potential limitations of the data collection sources and systems envisaged for each of them were enquired about to identify existing data sources at the country level, and their potential use. Results:The GDO has been successfully finalized by WHO andWHOCC, and it will align with theWHOGlobal Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia currently in preparation, as the key moniotring and knowledge echange platform to support evidence-based dementia service planning and strengthening of policies in health and social care systems for dementia. Conclusions: In the coming years comparable data at a country-level will become available through WHO to monitor dementia progress, favor knowledge translation and exchange, and the creating of country profiles on dementia readiness and progress.
