TAILIEUCHUNG - Armed conflict, household victimization, and child health in Côte d'Ivoire

Good nutrition is one of the key foundations for the development of a healthy, productive population. Well nourished people are less likely to become ill or die, and are more productive and better able to learn. Achieving good nutrition, particularly among women and children, is associated with important short and long term health, educational and economic benefits. Situational analysis of data from Somalia over the last decade indicates that undernutrition is a significant and enduring public health problem and a major factor in the failure to meet MDGs on hunger, child health, maternal mortality, gender equality and education.

Shemyakina Georgia Institute of Technology Abstract We examine the effect of the 2002-2007 civil conflict in Côte d Ivoire on children s health status using household surveys collected before during and after the conflict and information on the exact location and date of conflict events. Our identification strategy relies on exploiting both temporal and spatial variation across birth cohorts to measure children s exposure to the conflict. We find that children from regions more affected by the conflict suffered significant health setbacks compared with children from less affected regions. We further examine possible war impact mechanisms using rich data on households experience of war from the post-conflict survey. Our results suggest that conflict-induced economic losses health impairment displacement and other forms of victimization are important channels through which conflict negatively impacts child health.
