Description
Summary:	This report builds on the World Bank's earlier report on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in India (2004 report number 30266), which highlighted the challenges India faces in meeting a number of the MDGs. The report focuses on the state of Orissa and is organized as follows: the second chapter provides a brief background on Orissa. This is followed by a review of recent trends with infant and child mortality in the state. Chapter 4 introduces a framework for assessing the multitude of factors which have a bearing on infant and child mortality, dividing them into four groups: the individual woman/mother; the family; the community and service provision. Chapter 5 applies the analytical framework to Orissa and this is followed by a chapter 6 which looks at district level patterns. The final chapter of the report pulls it altogether and attempts to answer three questions: what is needed to bring down child mortality rates in Orissa and achieve the 11" Five Year Plan and MDG goal; how well are existing interventions placed to do the job; and where are the gaps and how can they best be filled. The report ends with an outline of a possible multi-sectoral program designed to reduce child mortality in Orissa.
