This report represents a summary of presentations and discussions of the 5th Biennial International Conference on Alternative Care for Children in Asia held throughout the two days in Kathmandu, Nepal, in September 2023. BICON is an inter-agency cooperation of eight international organisations focused on alternative care for children.
Over 53 speakers and 300 participants, including over 50 young people with care experience, from across Asia and beyond joined us and shared their perspectives. BICON was also streamed to participants around the world.
As well as a summary of each session this report contains a Declaration from the Heart of BICON. This is a summary of the recommendations for action that were captured live at the event. This is BICON’s call for action to the countries of Asia, to donors and the international community.
