Abstract
Poverty the dreaded disease stands as a stumbling block to the child
directly or indirectly. While genuine efforts are being made to
articulate poverty alleviation programmes that positively impact on the
child, UNICEF, government and several development partners
recognize that more creative strategies will be required if we are to
attain the decade goals. These creative joint strategies are well spelt
out in the UNICEF-Nigeria country programme of cooperation (1991-
1995 and 1997-2001) which Kaduna state benefited from. The
specialized areas of contraction of the country programme are
education, health, nutrition, water and sanitation with regard to
Kaduna state. The data collection and analysis were basically to assess
the emphasized for it is the pivotal point around which sound health,
good nutrition values, drinkable water and sanitation evolve, they can
be seen as part of a major system for all a redirect dependent upon the
other. Without doubt, the poverty profile of children of Kaduna state is
and will always continue to remain in the hands of the policy makers,
this will remain a fact that their livelihood is in their custody. The
obvious change is that children development should also be a priority
as developing children in a positive direction helps to concretize the
quality of the citizens of a nation.
