We thank Alice Ryan for her administrative and organisational support throughout the preparation of this series. The work on which the series has been based was supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the UK Department for International Development, the US Agency for International Development, and the institutions of the investigators. The Rockefeller Foundation supported a team residency at its Bellagio Study and Conference Centre in February, 2003, at which a substantial part of the thinking and writing for the series was done. The sponsors of the study had no role in study design, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, or writing of the report. The Cluster on Family and Community Health and the Department of Child and Adolescent Health and Development at WHO, Geneva, was the Secretariat for both the Bellagio Team Residency and the Lancet series.

N2 - The child survival revolution of the 1980s contributed to steady decreases in child mortality in some populations, but much remains to be done. More than 10 million children will die this year, almost all of whom are poor. Two-thirds of these deaths could have been prevented if effective child survival interventions had reached all children and mothers who needed them. Translation of current knowledge into effective action for child survival will require leadership, strong health systems, targeted human and financial resources, and modified health system to ensure that poor children and mothers benefit. A group of concerned scientists and policy-makers issues a call to action to leaders, governments, and citizens to translate knowledge into action for child survival.
