Organizations Working on Children's Care

This page offers a Directory of Organizations working on children’s care issues around the world, at a local, national, regional, and/or global level. The Directory is provided to encourage information sharing and communication between actors working in this sector.

Please note that the inclusion or exclusion of organizations in this Directory does not necessarily entail any judgement or endorsement on the part of BCN or its advisory group on the quality of their programs or services. In line with BCN's Mission, criteria for adding an organization to the Directory include evidence of relevant work in the areas of family strengthening, prevention of separation, alternative care, reintegration and transition from care, care reform, and other relevant areas. We are continuing to expand our directory and welcome suggestions of additional organizations to highlight.

Community Child Protection Exchange

The Community Child Protection Exchange – or “Exchange” – is an online initiative which aims to improve the level of knowledge and understanding around community-based child protection mechanisms and national child protection systems.

The Exchange recognises the rich knowledge base which resides within the practitioners and implementers working with communities to protect children. This recognition is reflected in the Exchange’s “ground up” learning approach to information and knowledge exchange, which sees practitioners as experts in their field.

Community Concern of Orphans and Development Association (COCODA)

Community Concern of Orphans and Development Association (COCODA) formally registered as a non-governmental organization in Tanzania in the year 2000.
