Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed Progress Report 2013 UNICEF   Child survival is a shared responsibility. Every segment of society has a role to play. Through investments in domes- tic production, as well as research and development, the private sector wields enormous influence over the avail- ability, affordability and quality of life-saving commodities and medicines. Equally important are the civil society groups that advance the child survival agenda through action and advocacy. Whether delivering life-saving vaccines to the women and children in greatest need, or advocating on their behalf, civil society networks are powerful agents of change. They, like few others, can mobilize their communities to de- nounce the inevitability of preventable deaths. Each voice that speaks out against the death of a child is a reminder of unfulfilled promises and a call for urgent action.  There is no time to spare.  We must accelerate progress to- wards Millennium Development Goal 4. The lives of nearly 35 million children are at stake. The global community cannot abandon its commitment to prevent these deaths. Our shared promise to give every child the best possible start in life must remain the rallying cry of every society,  every government, every community, and every family...for  every child.
