International Contribution Award 2026

The International Contribution Award is sponsored by the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (KACAP) and is presented by the IACAPAP to recognise the accomplishments of a senior individual who has made outstanding contributions to CAMH (Child and Adolescent Mental Health) in the developing world. The award consists of a plaque and honorarium. 

The award underscores the contributions of the individual to services development, research and/or teaching in Low or Middle-Income countries. The individual should have wide recognition in the Low or Middle-Income countries and interact with decision-makers at the country or regional level. The awardee does not have to come from a Low and Middle-Income country or region as long as she or he made a recognizable contribution to child mental health development in these settings. This award is not only for child and adolescent psychiatrists but also for allied professionals.
