ABSTRACT

This project is specially put together with the aim of monitoring infant and mortality rate believed that at the end of this importance involved in monitoring birth rate on every child born in the country, so as to enable the federal ministry of health through the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to actually use effective major in it’s monitoring process. In view of this, a careful study and understanding of this research will assist the user to know actually that it is through this paradise (birth rate monitoring information system) that it generate quantitative data on the economic activities of children, so that the nation’s economy is evenly spread and effectively utilized for planning on essential amenities distribution to every individual’s satisfactory. The research will go further to explain the source through which data are collected for the act and also how the exercise enhances in knowing the birth rate of citizen existing in the country with the work rested solely on the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Enugu and national population commission(NPC).

Recommendations are made on how best to organize and bring better birth rate monitoring activities for information system through on line to give a more sophisticated approach at the end.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

     The increasing attention to research on early brain development and on short and long term effects of children’s participation in quality early  childhood program along with the growing government commitment of lifelong learning in the education for all conferences (1990, 2000) has led to growing interest in early childhood programs and service in the countries around the world.

It is important to collect accurate and useful information about childhood service in the running of a country or region.

    The guideline presented forces on two areas of particular concern for policy makers; data collection and system monitoring. To accommodate the needs of both the developing and developed Nations, we offer a number of different approaches to data collection and monitoring. This provide practical example to data collection methods that can be used to examine the number and quality of two areas that are specially important for policy marking decisions. Also the unique demands of collecting data to be used in cross- National research.

  The major, type of early childhood service in both the developing and develop countries are: the generation information about the early childhood policies, indicators and method of data collection. The two specific example of early childhood policies which suggest indicator for these policies and recommends method of data collection are: the feeding health programs of the children and the education they will get.

1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

     IN Enugu, United Nations Children’s fund (UNICEF) started in 1983 and ‘’A’’ field office covers 10 states. The ‘’A’’ field office in Enugu is one of the four offices of UNICEF in Nigeria. It was established in 1969 as a way of taking UNICEF and its program closer to the people.

     Some international organizations that worked with developing countries in operating and expanding early childhood service had gone a long way in education and care of world’s monitoring the birth rate of children.

These had gone a long way in monitoring the birthrate of children.

    On the other hand from about the middle of 1970’s, there had been several types of evidence indicating growing awareness of child’s birth rate as a problem. This has helped in monitoring birth rate in hospitals and health centers, reduction in attitudes favorable to it in the global network and at the formulation of policies and laws designed to curb it.

1. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

The factors that influences the cause of development with organization and its accomplishment is good to be embraced so as to ensure that a equate measure are taken to monitor birth rate by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Enugu.

Up till now, countries cannot keep track of its registered new born babies accurately but gets its data mode information through National Population Commission due to the fact that they don’t take birth rate monitoring to a particular sector to monitor, but also emphasizes on other aspect concerning children such as their right to education.

 Lack of sophisticated machine for the purpose also arises but instead they choose to use the old system to monitor birth rate.

The negligence to monitor birth rate has made report to parents and the National Population Commission  undoubtedly. Although the National Population Commission being represented at the Hospital by one of it’s staff to be manually taking record of event so as to be enable the National Population Commission have an up – to-date records of every newly born baby.

Also, it is necessary for the health institution to introduce an information system that would be used for the recording of event regarding any complication related to pregnancy.
