Summary, etc. Intended for use as a tool by social development practitioners at both<br/>field and decision-making level, the Atlas of Children in National Development<br/>marks the fruition of ten years of co-operation on the subject between UNICEF<br/>and the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).<br/>There are two main characteristics of this publication which are of<br/>special note. First of all, the social and economic data presented attempt to<br/>show the status of children within the context of overall national development.<br/>The UNICEF strategy, known as the Child Survival and Development Revolution<br/>(CSDR) - which advocates the promotion of low-cost interventions such as<br/>immunization, breast-feeding, oral rehydration therapy and growth monitoring<br/>complemented by female education, food supplementation and family spacing -<br/>needs a positive development framework, to achieve its full potential. This implies<br/>that economic constraints are "adjusted with a human face" so that their impact<br/>is not unduly harsh on those least equipped to cope - the children.<br/>Secondly, the Atlas may be one of the few available publications which<br/>stresses sub-national data. It hopes to make a unique contribution towards<br/>better understanding of social progress by showing the distribution of socio-<br/>economic indicators on a geographic basic, thus providing a base for targeted<br/>interventions.<br/>In publishing this third edition, UNICEF acknowledges with thanks the<br/>continuing interest and co-operation of ESCAP staff. It is not by chance that<br/>UNICEF and ESCAP have joined in this venture, for together they represent two<br/>vital developmental concerns - children and national development<br/>and are<br/>thus well prepared to tackle the complex task. The new edition makes no claims<br/>to perfection although it has evolved considerably since the first edition was<br/>published six years ago. However, if the Atlas helps to highlight the situation of<br/>children and their mothers and contributes to enhance the political will to act on<br/>their behalf, then the objectives of the publication will have been achieved.
