▪Huge increases in attention and funding for maternal, newborn and child survival
▪Ever-increasing amount of new data for monitoring
▪Child deaths continuing to decline (< 9 million in 2008); progress in maternal mortality reduction
▪Major improvements in key intervention coverage indicators; further measurable declines in child mortality
▪But much more remains to be done…

▪Major increase in data to track intervention coverage over the last ten years
▪Countdown builds on work begun in mid-1990s for monitoring progress toward World Summit for Children goals and subsequently the MDGs
▪More work still needed to improve data quality and regular monitoring of health programs
Wealth of New Data for Countdown Monitoring

Around 1990, 30 countries with data on whether malnutrition rates were rising or falling
Evolution of Data Collection since 1990 (MDG Baseline)
![Page 7: Tessa Wardlaw UNICEF Headquarters, New York The Countdown Report: Part I.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5514b050550346ea6e8b611d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Today, 118 countries with data on whether malnutrition rates were rising or falling
Evolution of Data Collection since 1990 (MDG Baseline)

What does Countdown monitor?
Progress in coverage for critical interventions across maternal, newborn & child health continuum of care
Health Systems and Policies – important context for assessing coverage gains
Financial flows to maternal, newborn and child health
Equity in intervention coverage
What does the Countdown monitor?
![Page 9: Tessa Wardlaw UNICEF Headquarters, New York The Countdown Report: Part I.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5514b050550346ea6e8b611d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Indicates whether programs reach target populations
Low coverage or slow progress signals need for urgent action
Helps managers make mid-course corrections if programs not working
Why Focus on Coverage?Why focus on coverage?

Indicators agreed upon by diverse group of experts in Fall 2007 and updated in September 2009
Selected using objective criteria: Harmonized with other monitoring efforts (e.g. MDGs) Clear evidence of direct impact on child, newborn and maternal survival
Easily understood by policymakers/program managers
Selection of coverage indicators

Data compilation
Countdown data compiled from a wide range of sources
Data on policies and systems from WHO, UNFPA and other organizations
Coverage data largely from UNICEF global databases
UNICEF global databases updated annually using rigorous data quality review procedures (www.childinfo.org)
New this year – Country Profiles shared with Ministries of Health in advance of publication

Country Profiles
Central part of Countdown monitoring effort
Brings together latest coverage data and other key information (e.g. policies) in one reference document
Present current situation and rate of progress
Highlights gaps and areas needing attention
