This artifact is a presentation on the United Nations Millennium Goal of reducing child mortality. This presentation focuses on the progress that the UN has made in regards to this goal. From this presentation, I learned that the global under-five mortality rate has declined by more than a half. Additionally, progress is continually being made to reduce the child mortality rate. This artifact broadened my understanding of international affairs by allowing me to research the child mortality problem not only in the United States but also abroad. This presentation exposed me to the efforts that the UN has been making in order to improve this issue in underdeveloped and developing countries.
