Description
The overall objective of the Strategy is to reduce under-five mortality to 67/1000 by 2015(MDG 4); this being a reduction of two-thirds from the 1990 rate of 200/1000 and 52% reduction from the 2004 rate of about 140/1000.
Specific objectives are to:
• Reduce the neonatal, infant and child mortality rates proportionally in achieving the above stated objective.
• Ensure the availability of good quality essential health care for women and children in the community and health facilities
• Ensure the greatest possible reduction of mortality among the children of the poorest and most marginalized sections of the population.
