The Young Child in Tanzania from Conception to Seven Years

摘要

The young child study in Tanzania is part of a global study undertaken by UNICEF in several countries. UNICEF commissioned the study for its global programmes on the welfare of children. It was also hoped that the findings and conclusions of the study will be of assistance in improving the situation of the young child by offering recommendations for the development of long range planning, benefitting these age groups. One of the findings of the study is that over 25% of the children born in Tanzania die before the age of five. Most of these deaths are due to diseases that are mainly preventable. Recommendations are given on maternal and child health, nutrition, environmental sanitation, community development, women's organizations, and collective villages.
