UNICEF Chief Anthony Lake tells FrontLines: “There has been tremendous progress in child survival: The child mortality rate has dropped by 35 percent since 1990. No single organization can claim credit for that achievement, and we still have a long way to go. But I am proud of UNICEF’s role.”

From the time they are born until the age of 6, most children receive a long list of vaccines that have proved over decades to protect them from debilitating illnesses.
Despite one of the region’s worst droughts, no famine struck rural Ethiopia last year. The drought’s impact was lessened by a food-and-cash-for-public-works program USAID supports and helped design. Today, one of Africa’s largest social safety nets does not just protect against chronic food insecurity, it helps communities weather the future.
