*Countdown to 2015 *focuses on:****

** **

**·         **on evidence based solutions—health interventions proven to
save lives—and on the health systems, policies, financing and broader
contextual factors that affect the  equitable delivery of these
interventions to women and children****

**·         **on data, because building a better future and protecting the
basic human right to life require understanding where things stand right
now and how they got to where they are today****

**·         **on what happens in countries—where investments are made or
not made, policies are implemented or not implemented, health services are
received or not received and women and children live or die****
