Reasons why interventions present in country plans were not modelled in LiST application

Malawi Burkina Faso Ghana
Evidence of effectiveness in reducing child mortality rates not sufficient to warrant inclusion in LiST De-worming, family planninga Maternal vitamin A supplementation, IPTp Family planninga
Evidence of effectiveness exists, but intervention not yet incorporated in LiST Therapeutic feeding for severe malnutritionb Caesarian section, breastfeeding within 1 hour of birth Caesarian section, Intrapartum care
Country data on coverage not adequate or compatible for use in LiST, or target coverage not set in programme Complementary feeding, kangaroo mother care Complementary feeding, kangaroo mother care
Not part of CI acceleration programme Interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV

aFamily planning reduces the number of child deaths; evidence for an effect of birth spacing on child mortality is under review and is not currently reflected in LiST.

bNow incorporated into LiST.
