Abstract

Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) conducted by UNICEF using standardized methods in 66 countries have provided data for evaluating the status of child health during the period between 1990 and 2000. This report presents findings on mortality in children less than 5 years of age, malnutrition indicators, immunization status and integrated management of childhood illness. It is concluded that children at the dawn of the 21st century are exposed to new risks related to poverty, war, violence, urbanization, and VIH/AIDS.
