Acting on the Call Fact Sheet 2014
June 2014 marks the second anniversary of the Child Survival Call to Action when the world came together to craft a global goal to end preventable child deaths by 2035. In the last two years, we came together as a global community and pioneered a new approach that has empowered partner countries to achieve this aspiration by leading with robust business plans and evidence-based report cards.
Ending preventable child and maternal death is an ambitious but achievable vision. With a clear path for action, we can deliver on this fundamental human aspiration and usher in one of the greatest contributions to progress in history. With a strong foundation in place, now is the time for the global community to mobilize around results-oriented country action plans to realize a world where every child everywhere lives to celebrate his or her fifth birthday and no woman dies as a result of pregnancy or childbirth.
