In December, members of the Child
Survival Partnership including Joy Phumaphi, director of Family Health at the World Health Organization, Pascal Villeneuve, chief of child health at UNICEF, and Dr. E. Anne Peterson Assistant Administrator, Bureau of Global Health, USAID visited Ethiopia -- one of the six countries identified in the Lancet articles which together have half of the world’s deaths of children under age five.
The Child Survival partnership is a multi-agency effort to renew both global and national interest in child survival. During the visit, the group conducted an initial consultation with in-country partners and government officials to introduce the CS Partnership; conducted field visits with high-ranking representatives of national, regional, and local government; held a working meeting with donor partners; a working luncheon with the Minister of Health hosted by the U.S. Ambassador; and meetings with the Minister of Health, the Prime Minister, and the Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
