Achievements and transition have marked the year that passed, for UNICEF as well as Mozambique. In 2013, UNICEF continued to support the scaling up of an essential package of services, commodities and knowledge for children. Progress was made in child survival in particular, reaching 8.3 million children under 5 during two national health weeks, and with 570,000 mosquito nets distributed during the year. A landmark Government commitment was secured to scale up community health workers nationwide. Birth registration was integrated into national health weeks, reaching 350,000 children, and call centres and police support to victims of violence were scaled up.
