The Indian Childhood Cancer Initiative (ICCI) is a platform to bring all stakeholders of the pediatric oncology community in India together in a formal way to achieve the common goal of a National Childhood Cancer Plan and Policy for the country. This multi-stakeholder group aims to partner with and strengthen the government of India's program for pediatric cancer control and towards the 2030 goal of 60% survival and 100% access by adapting the World Health Organization, Global Initiative on Childhood Cancer (WHO GICC) CUREALL technical package strategies and integrating this with Govt of India’s cancer control plan and policies at central and state level.

The Indian Childhood Cancer Initiative was launched in March 2023, with all its stakeholders over a two-day workshop in New Delhi. It was agreed to work towards formalizing the intersection between Government (Central/State), pediatric oncology community, and the civil society and to develop a strategy and a roadmap which will form part of the National Childhood Cancer Plan.

The second stakeholder and consultation workshop held in September 2023 in New Delhi was the first formal workshop with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) in partnership with WHO India, WHO SEAR and Indian Council of Medical Research National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research. The goal of the workshop was to sensitise the MOHFW about ICCI and the need to create the National Plan for Childhood Cancer.
