Data from nationally representative demographic and health survey and Multiple Indicator Cluster administrated in 42 Sub-Sahara Africa countries, which comprised a total of 398,574 mothers with 1,521,312 children. Spatial heterogeneity conducted hotspot regions identified. A mixed-effect regression model was run, and the adjusted ratio with corresponding 95% confidence intervals was estimated. The prevalence of mothers who suffer child death 27% and 45-49 year of age mother 48%. In Niger, 47.1% of mothers were suffering child death. Being haven’t HIV knowledge, Stunted, wasted, uneducated, not household head, poor, from rural, and from subtropical significantly increased the odds of the case (P<0.05).
