GOAL 4:
REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY
Target 4.A:
Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the
under-five mortality rate
- 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
