The India Alternative Care Network (IACN) is a voluntary collective of civil society organizations, practitioners, academics, funders, and others dedicated to strengthening the protection and well-being of children without parental care or at risk of separation across India.

IACN fosters collaboration, knowledge exchange, and shared learning to improve alternative care practices, promote safe family environments, and support children's rights in diverse care contexts.

Membership is voluntary and open to organizations and individuals with experience in child-care across different settings. Members are encouraged to actively participate and contribute to building a rich body of knowledge and practice in alternative care work within India.

By joining IACN, civil society actors become part of a growing community committed to transforming child-care systems through advocacy, research, capacity building, and collective action.
