32	This table shows that for all countries for the 6 countries in which a Demographic and Health Survey was conducted after 2006, the year in which the Millennium Villages Program was initiated, the rate of decline of under-5 mortality in rural areas has exceeded the rate of decline nationally. In Mali, which conducted a DHS in 2006, the rate of decline in rural areas measured in that year was 1.6%, slightly lower than the 2.0% drop nationally.

34	These figures are all based on the "10 year" rates reported in the DHS reports and Statcompiler, which means that they correspond to the 10 year period before a given survey.
