| ACSD Profiles |
|
| Accelerated Child Survival and Development (ACSD) is an integrated UNICEF program that delivers low-cost, high-impact interventions that dramatically improve child survival over a short period of time. It is a child survival intervention delivered on an accelerated tract — that is, progressing at a more rapid pace — in select countries. UNICEF is taking the lead in the effort to significantly reduce the under-five child mortality rate by taking the proven ACSD initiative to scale. Priority countries are those identified as having both a high level of under-five mortality rate and a high level of readiness for accelerating the effectiveness of their health care systems. The ACSD profiles display basic demographic and health information critical to monitoring and tracking the progress of countries targeted under the ACSD program. |

| Countdown to 2015 Profiles |
|
The Countdown to 2015 Initiative tracks coverage levels for health interventions proven to reduce maternal, newborn and child mortality. It calls on governments and development partners to be accountable, identifies knowledge gaps and proposes new actions to reach Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5, to reduce child mortality and improve maternal health. The Countdown Initiative is a supra-institutional collaborative effort of concerned individuals and partner organizations. The 2008 country profiles represent the basic information to be analysed at Countdown conferences, and evidence for assessing progress since the first Countdown Report in 2005. Each profile presents the most recent available information on selected demographic measures of maternal, newborn and child survival and nutritional status, coverage rates for priority interventions, and selected indicators of equity, policy support, human resources and financial flows.

| MDG Profiles |
|
| These MDG profiles display data on how countries are progressing in their efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. As the 2015 target for achieving the MDGs is fast approaching, it becomes critical for all stakeholders to know how countries are performing with respect to each goal and where additional efforts are needed to achieve the desired targets. These profiles summarize the most recent data at the country level for seven of the eight goals as well as data on selected child protection indicators. |
