Crown Agents are contracted by Emory University as the Fiscal Agent for the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network in Sierra Leone while also providing management oversight. The CHAMPS network aims to determine and track the causes of under-five mortality and stillbirths through epidemiologic surveillance, including reporting within 24 hours, clinical sampling, and use of advanced laboratory testing and diagnostics across a network of international sites.
Please find below our monthly CHAMPS Bulletin with information on child mortality in Sierra Leone, including the causes of stillbirth and under-five deaths, as well as interventions and actions taken to reduce these deaths.
