USAID Releases New Issue Of ‘Frontlines’
The June/July issue of USAID's "Frontlines" focuses on the agency's efforts to improve child survival and its portfolio of projects in Ethiopia, according to an overview of the issue in USAID's "IMPACTblog." In his "Insights" column, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah writes, "Over the past decade, we've made tremendous strides to reduce child mortality across the world, thanks in large part to the scaled up distribution of proven interventions and new technologies that are making it easier to reach and save more children," noting, "In Ethiopia, where families have had to contend with one of the highest rates of infant and child mortality in the world, we've seen a dramatic and rapid decline" (Rucker, 5/17).
