The International Network for Caregiving Children (INCC) was established in 2010 in response to a growing recognition of the role of caregiving children in resource poor settings. The INCC seeks to provide academics, journalists, NGO practitioners, grassroot groups and caregiving children and youth with a platform to share and develop their knowledge about the circumstances that characterise the lives of caregiving children. In doing this, the INCC aims to facilitate the development of theory and practice of collective action for the improved health and well-being of caregiving children in resource poor settings.
