WHO SUPPORT DISSEMINATION & VALIDATION OF PRELIMINARY SHORT PROGRAM REVIEW FINDINGS 4-6 OCTOBER 2021

The State of Eritrea has made huge strides in improving the health and wellbeing of women and children since independence. This is primarily due to the strong political commitment to social development, particularly the drive to improve the lives of the mothers and children. Eritrea was one of the countries in Africa that attained MDG 4, and one of the few that were on track for MDG 5. The belief is that collectively strategies and priority can be designed to ensure the survival, health and wellbeing of Eritrean men, women, adolescents and children across the life-course towards attainment of SDG and GPW 13 related goal and targets.
