Mildrid Maganda Per. 3 Children Health Care Madagascar

Health care is the way a country takes care for the health and lives of all who live in their country. Health care has been really difficult of Africa because of the low income and economy they have been suffering with many years now. Poverty in this continent has prevented Africans to receive vaccines and medicines for their children or even for themselves. There have been created many drives to help send money for health care. In 2007, there has been introduced a new regard to health care. There has been great improvement in how health care has helped in around the 1990's. Children have great struggle in regarding health in most of the poor countries.
 * __Background Information__**:

The United Nations have been deeply concerned for the health care of children from Africa for many years now, and has created many committees such as United Nations Children Fund to help trying to save many lives. UNICEF representative have been promoting more vaccinations for women of child- bearing age. UNICEF has reported five million child deaths every year because of deadly disease or problems they face in health in their own countries and can't get enough help. UNICEF has estimated that malaria is the cause of 18 percent of under- five deaths in Africa. The UNICEF calls for intervention packages which include vaccines for children, pre- and post- natal care for pregnant women, exclusive breastfeeding for at least six months and the establishment of more health care centers.

Madagascar is part of the African community, so has been concerned in helping its country since suffering the same and creating many ways to help with the cause. We are trying to help and find ways to help in the problems of health. UNICEF ambassadors helped out during Madagascar's Mother and Child Health Week. Our goal was providing more that 4 million mothers and children with life- saving health care.
 * __Country Policy__**:

Madagascar's solution is just the same as its been, to create time throughout the year to help many like Madagascar's health and care week. Madagascar could create committees to describe their position in how they can help children with their health care and go around and do as what they say. We can gather food from countries like the United States that they don't finish with and can go around and send amounts of food and vaccinations annually. We can bring UN helpers to show the rest of Africans; to be a role model on how you can stay healthy from everything in their environment.

_ Mildrid Maganda Per. 3 Primary Education in Africa

Primary Education is the way a country educates their youth to a better living. Education has been harsh to Africa the same as the health care that is in that country, education is fairly good for the boys but it isn't the same for the girls. A goal has been created that is the universal primary education. This universal primary education by 2015, about 180 million children need to be able to be in a school like Africa is trying to be part of this universal goal. One of ten students at least repeat one grade in primary school in more than have the African countries. The United Nations have been playing a huge part in assuring that girls have equal access to education. Most of the Millennium Development Goals have a deadline of 2015, the gender parity target was to be achieved a full ten years earlier. Meeting the Education Goal will speed progress toward every other Millennium Goal. Educating children will help reduce poverty and promote gender equality in schools for more education. The UN have tried to help the children get more involved in their education because they know they need it more in the world. For 60 years UNICEF has been the world's leader for children, working on the ground in 156 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from their childhood through their teenage years.

 * __UN Involvement__**:

Madagascar has been part of taking a firm notice of the situation with the education. We want to take effective measures to combat all forms of abuse, violence and exploitation of children. Madagascar with the France Telecoms, and United Nations Children Fund signed $20,000, two- year partnership to promote the education of girls in Madagascar. As Madagascar is one the smaller countries in Africa, girls have to face greater challenges in continuing their studies. Madagascar's government with UNICEF launched a "Girl-to-Girl" strategy that links younger and older girls form the same village. Older girls take the younger ones to and from school as well as help them wither homework and school life.
 * __Country Policy__**:

Madagascar has many solutions to help with the education in Africa, especially in the education of the girls. We are deciding to create committees to help raise funds to create more uses such as textbooks of computers. Other solutions could be protection amongst the students especially of the girls. Girls have been abused more often there so they should be helped more in how to protect themselves in violence.
