L͛analyse des tendances récentes montre que le Burkina Faso a enregistré une réduction significative de la mortalité infanto-juvénile. Même si aucune des cibles des OMD 4 et 5 n͛a été atteinte par le pays, le taux de mortalité infanto-juvénile est passé de 129 ...pour mille naissances vivantes en 2010 à 82 pour mille naissances
vivantes en 2015, soit une baisse de 7.3% par an. Ceci est en grande partie dû aux progrès enregistrés en matière de lutte contre la mortalité au bénéfice de la tranche juvénile (de 1 à 4 ans). Cependant, comme près de la moitié des enfants âgés de moins de cinq ans continuent de mourir au cours de leur première
année de vie, il reste beaucoup à faire pour l͛atteinte de la vision globale d͛élimination de la mortalité infanto-juvénile évitable et de réduction de la mortalité des mères comme partie prenante des Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD).
