| Course Description | Child mortality has steadily declined over the last century. In 1918, approximately one in three children died before the age of five. Today, that number is one in twenty. Global progress is however marred by tremendous disparities, and much more progress is possible. Students in the course will learn about the conditions that affect children in high-mortality settings; review the evidence base for major child survival interventions; and examine the practical issues related to their implementation. Students will look at these issues from a global, national, and program perspective, ranging from the impact of global policies, to the track record of national strategies, to key program management skills they will need to be effective. These skills include monitoring, evaluation, communication, cross-cultural understanding, leadership and human resources. Students will also learn about relevant cross-cutting areas of knowledge, such as health systems, community health, child development, crisis settings, aid effectiveness, inequality, and power dynamics. |
