CICH Themes

In 2005 the World Health Organization and UNCIEF launched a Regional Child Survival Strategy. This outlines 7 important interventions (called the 'Essential Package') that have clearly been shown to reduce child mortality, and calls for a coordinated, integrated approach that would enable an environment wherein such interventions can be effective.

The work of CICH aims to:

• Support the local adaptation of the Child Survival Strategy in the Asia Pacific region
• Improve the knowledge base of effective interventions for reducing child mortality
• Support local capacity in child health in the Asia Pacific region
