  1. aData source: data.unicef.org
  2. Estimates from the EN-INDEPTH include only children alive after the neonatal period. This will slightly overestimate population-based coverage due to very low coverage of birth certification for neonatal deaths. Estimates from standard DHS only include coverage for currently alive children in the roster, which may overestimate further coverage as child deaths at any age would be excluded.
