Interventions to Reduce Pneumonia, Diarrhea, and Malaria
53% of all-cause under-five mortality reduction
Per IHME estimates
Quantitative modeling results
LIVES SAVED TOOL
18,823 lives saved and 12% of total lives saved between 2000 and 2016 attributed to oral antibiotics, ORT, zinc treatment, and ACTs (the majority attributed to antibiotics for pneumonia).

Per IHME estimates
Quantitative modeling results
LIVES SAVED TOOL
18,808 lives saved and 12% of total lives saved from 2000 to 2016 attributed to ITNs and indoor residual spraying
Interventions to Reduce Vaccine Preventable Diseases

49,012 lives saved and 32% of total lives saved from 2000 to 2016 attributed to vaccines and vitamin A supplements (primarily Hib and measles vaccine).
Interventions to Reduce HIV
<1% of all-cause under-five mortality reductions
Per IHME estimates
Quantitative modeling results

871 lives saved and <1% of total lives saved from 2000 to 2016 attributed to PMTCT and ART.
Interventions to Reduce Malnutrition
17% of all-cause under-five mortality reductions
Per IHME estimates
Quantitative modeling results
LIVES SAVED TOOL
15,435 lives saved and 10% of total lives saved from 2000 to 2016 attributed to nutrition interventions, including breastfeeding practices and complementary feeding.
Interventions to Reduce Neonatal Disorders
7% of all-cause under-five mortality reduction
Per IHME estimates
Quantitative modeling results
LIVES SAVED TOOL
28,921 lives saved and 19% of total lives saved from 2000 to 2016 attributed to neonatal and antenatal interventions (primarily labor and delivery management)
Other factors
Quantitative modeling results
DECOMPOSITION RESULTS
6% of overall reduction in under-five mortality attributed to WASH and other environmental factors.
LIVES SAVED TOOL
23,160 lives saved and 15% of total lives saved attributed to WASH interventions.
LiST estimates a total of 155,000 lives saved and a reduction in under-5 mortality rate of 29%. The modeled results capture 45% of the observed decline in mortality as estimated by IGME. The additional estimated decline (per IGME estimates) could be attributed to other factors that are not measurable or that fall outside of direct health system interventions (e.g., economic development, women’s empowerment).
Contextual factors including economic growth, improvements in gender equity and women's empowerment, education, and improvements in sanitation
The primary research findings suggest additional contextual factors that contributed to under-5 mortality reductions in Senegal that were outside of the health system interventions – these include improvements in gender equity and economic growth.
