It operates through a steering committee and secretariat to advocate for iCCM adoption, ensure access to best practices and tools, and provide a forum for experience sharing. It maintains a resource center, CCMCentral.com, which centralizes iCCM implementation tools and examples. The Task Force aims to shape the future of iCCM programs and child health through networking, learning, and sharing.
