Health Outcome: Children under 5 years of age and pregnant women, particularly the
most vulnerable, increasingly benefit from quality high-impact interventions for the
prevention and management of maternal and childhood illnesses, including in
emergency situations.
Despite a decreasing tendency, the child mortality rate is still high in Niger. Access to care
remains limited to only 48.4 % of the population living at less than 5 km from a health facility;
and with only 5.58% of the national budget allocated to health, the health system largely
depends on external funding. Building on lessons learned, UNICEF continued to support the
Government of Niger, using different sources of funding including thematic funds. Thematic
funds were instrumental in achieving results in child survival, thanks to their flexibility.
UNICEF continued to implement key interventions such as the seasonal malaria
chemoprevention (SMC), Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) of childhood
illnesses, and neonatal care including kangaroo mother care. In 2018, SMC covered more
than 96% of children aged 3 to 59 months in selected health districts, out of a target of 80%.
Immunization coverage increased from 85% in 2017 to 99% and 100% for
diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT3) and measles respectively.
The proportion of births assisted by qualified personnel was 36.3% as per the Ministry of
Health Statistics Yearbook 2017 (issued in December 2018), below expectations due to
various reasons, including strong social barriers and beliefs. The proportion of women who
attended at least four consultations by any provider (skilled or unskilled) during their pregnancy
for reasons related to the pregnancy was 38.8% in 2018, below the expected result of 60%.
