The document discusses reducing child mortality rates, with the goal of lowering the rate of children dying before age 5 by two-thirds. Specifically, it aims to reduce the mortality rate from 106 per 1000 children in 1990 to 35 per 1000 children in 2015. While the global average was 46 per 1000 children in 2013, down from 90 in 1990, rates vary greatly between developed and developing regions, with the highest rate of 167 per 1000 children in Angola. Several proposed interventions to reduce child mortality include providing health and nutrition services, improving family care, increasing access to water and sanitation, and responding quickly to emergencies.
