Documents/MDG/4: Child Health/Target 4.A: Mortality

Target 4.A: Mortality

Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate

Other Information:

Child deaths are falling, but not quickly enough to reach the target. Revitalizing efforts against pneumonia and diarrhoea, while bolstering nutrition, could save millions of children. Recent success in controlling measles may be short-lived if funding gaps are not bridged.
