Countdown to 2030: Tracking Progress Towards Universal Coverage for Women's, Children's, and Adolescents' Health
2017
This report from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) is a synthesis of data on current trends in reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health and nutrition (RMNCAH&N). It is the first report of Countdown to 2030: Maternal, Newborn & Child Survival (Countdown), a multi-institutional network with representatives from academia, United Nations agencies, and civil society.
Countdown regularly reviews progress toward the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals’ RMNCAH&N targets in 81 countries; these nations, together, account for 95 percent of maternal deaths and 90 percent of deaths among children under age 5. The report identifies the need for stronger investment, data generation, and analytical capacity to improve monitoring and accountability.
The report is accompanied by an online data portal with interactive country dashboards and printable profiles, which presents graphical data on demographics, equity, health care coverage, women’s and children’s nutrition, and policy, systems, and financing for each of the 81 target countries. Further information about indicator sources, definitions, and other details can be found in the Countdown report annexes.
