HSSIP 2010/11–2014/15 is the medium-term plan guiding health sector focus to achieve the objectives of the 2nd National Health Policy 2011–2020 (NHP II). HSSIP followed the launch of the National Development Plan 2010/11–2014/15, which sets Uganda‟s medium-term strategic direction, development priorities, and implementation strategies. HSSIP is detailed and was developed through a participatory process with a broad range of stakeholders and also benefitted from the Joint Assessment of National Strategies process during its development. . | H i C N Households in Conflict Network The Institute of Development Studies - at the University of Sussex - Falmer - Brighton - BN1 9RE Armed Conflict Household Victimization and Child Health in Côte d Ivoire1 Camelia Minoiu2 and Olga N. Shemyakina3 HiCN Working Paper 115 August 2012 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.
