ISPCAN COUNTRY PARTNER PROGRAM
About Us » Country Partners
In 1999, ISPCAN launched the Partners Program, establishing affiliations with national child abuse and neglect prevention organizations around the world. The collaboration aims to further the common mission, goals and programs of ISPCAN and its Partners.
The program seeks out existing national, multidisciplinary organizations working in child abuse and neglect (CAN) prevention, with a special focus on groups in developing countries. We believe that effective and sustainable CAN prevention is achieved through education and professional cooperation, and thus, sees the strength of the partnerships in enhancing the global network of those working for child welfare.
Partnership describes a close, on-going and coordinated working relationship, supporting an exchange of materials, information and membership benefits between ISPCAN and other societies. By sharing experience, research and resources, ISPCAN hopes to augment individual, regional and national efforts to end child maltreatment. The first meeting of Partner leaders took place at ISPCAN's 13th International Congress in Durban, South Africa in September of 2000.
