Overall, 2014 was a year of marking progress towards meeting global goals for reducing child mortality. Under-5 mortality has declined at a faster rate than at any other time during the past two decades, and among the poor in all regions. The global under-5 mortality rate has been reduced by half – from 90 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 46 per 1,000 in 2013, the latest year for which firm estimates are available for all countries. Still, it is clear that unfinished business remains in order to end preventable deaths and reduce regional disparities, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, which account for four out of five of all under-5 deaths. The post-2015 sustainable development agenda aims to address this unfinished business and the disproportionate results across regions and within nations, as well as across social groups. At the same time, post-2015 work is positioned to address emerging health concerns.
