| | You et al., 2015 [1] | Global, regional, and national | To assess levels and trends in under-5 mortality between 1990 and 2015 | | The U5MR in Ethiopia in 1990 was 205, in 2000 was 145, and in 2015 was 59, which is lower than the target 68. The annual rate of reduction was 5 | | EDHS, 2005 [5] | Country-wide | To assess the demographic and health condition in the country | 14,500 HH | NMR (39), PNMR (38), IMR (77), CMR (50), and U5MR (123) | | Wang et al., 2014 [7] | Global, regional, and national | To assess levels of neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality during 1990–2013 | | NMR (22.9), PNMR (23.3), CMR (23.2), and U5MR (74) | | Ministry of Health, Family Health Department, 2005 [9] | Country-wide | National Strategy for Child Survival in Ethiopia | Document | Children in Ethiopia suffer from poor health. The national U5MR is about 140/1000, with variations among the regions from 114 to 233/1000. The levels of mortality are worsened particularly by poverty, inadequate maternal education, lack of potable water and sanitation, high fertility, and inadequate birth spacing | | National Planning Commission and the United Nations in Ethiopia, 2014 [11] | Country-wide | To assess Ethiopia’s progress towards the MDGs | Report | U5M declined to 60 per 1,000 live births in 2015, which is below the MDG target of 63 indicating that Ethiopia has achieved its target of reducing child mortality by two-thirds ahead of time. Similarly, the infant mortality rate declined from 123 (per 1000 live births) in 1990 to 97 in 2000, 77 in 2005, and 59 in 2011, but it is unlikely that the MDG target of 31 per 1,000 live births in 2015 will be attained. Neonatal deaths (per 1,000 live births) showed a decline over time from 54 in 1990 and 49 in 2000, to 37 in 2011 | | Oestergaard et al., 2011 [14] | Global, regional, and national | To assess neonatal mortality levels for 193 countries in 2009 with trends since 1990 | Compiled a database of NMR and U5MR | NMR in 2009 was between 30 and 45 | | EDHS, 2000 [13] | Country-wide | To assess the demographic and health condition in the country | 1,355 couples HH | NMR (49), PNMR (48), IMR (97), CMR (77), and U5MR (165) | | EDHS, 2011 [14] | Country-wide | To assess the demographic and health condition in the country | More than 17,000 households | NMR (37), PNMR (22), IMR (59), CMR (31), and U5MR (88) | | World Bank, 2014 [15] | Global, regional, and national | | | U5MR was 64.40 in 2013 |
