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.
