Alzheimer's Disease International

Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) is a not-for-profit, international federation of Alzheimer and dementia associations from around the world. The organization is in official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO).[1] ADI advocates for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and all other types of dementia.

The organisation works to establish dementia as a global, regional and local priority through empowering Alzheimer and dementia associations to advocate for dementia as a national priority, to raise awareness and to offer care and support for people with dementia and their care partners; as well as campaigning for better policy from governments and encourage investment and innovation in dementia research.[2][3]

The organisation is headquartered in London, UK with an Asia Pacific regional office located in Jakarta, Indonesia and an Americas regional office located in Argentina.[4]

The current Chief Executive Officer is Paola Barbarino.[5]
