In September 2000, world leaders signed up to a set of eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Each goal focused on helping improve the lives of children around the world, in areas including health, education and opportunity.
Key among these was the aim to reduce the number of children in developing countries who died before their fifth birthday. Mahimbo Mdoe, of UN child agency Unicef, explains how countries have tackled this problem, and the success of Malawi in hitting its target.
