The baseline situation of women and children before the start of the 2002-2006 UNICEF Health and Nutrition Programme can be described from MICS 2000. This survey reported child (under 5) mortality and infant mortality in northern Sudan were 104 and 68, respectively. ARI, malaria, diarrhoea, combined with malnutrition were identified as the main causes of child deaths. A prevalence rate of 28.2% for diarrhoea, 16.7% for ARI were found in U5 children in northern Sudan in 2000.
