MICS Global Update
MICS4 Data Dissemination and Further Analysis Workshop
Global household survey programmes
• Since 1970s• Multi-topic, multiple indicator surveys
• World Fertility Surveys (1970s, early 1980s)• Contraceptive Prevalence Surveys (1980s)• Demographic and Health Surveys (since 1980s,
USAID)• Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (since 1995,
UNICEF)• Reproductive Health Surveys (since 1990s, CDC)
Global household survey programmes
• Thematic surveys• Living Standards Measurement Surveys - LSMS
(World Bank)• Malaria Indicator Surveys – MIS (RBM Malaria)• AIDS Indicator Surveys - AIS (USAID)• SMART surveys (Nutrition)
Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys
• Household survey program, developed by UNICEF in the 1990s– to assist countries in filling data gaps on children’s
and women’s well-being for tracking progress toward World Summit for Children Goals
• Nationally representative household sample surveys– Face to face interviews, observations,
measurements– Representative sample of households
Notes: Countries with at least one MICS survey Including sub-national surveys and ongoing MICS4 surveys
Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) Since 1995, more than 100 countries and close to 230 surveys
Background• MICS1 and MICS2
– 1995 and 2000– Emphasis on World Summit for Children goals– 62 and 65 countries
• MICS3– 2005-2006– Emphasis on World Fit for Children Goals,
MDGs, and plus– 52 countries
MICS4
• Launched in 2009• Ends in 2011• MDGs and other globally
recommended indicators• 59 surveys (as of September 2011)
– National: 47 surveys– Selected regions/zones: 12 surveys

Number of surveys
MICS4 Countries - Global
• Low and middle income countries• Emergency or post-emergency
situations• New to MICS, all MICS rounds,
returning countries• Single household survey data source
on children in many countries• Included in statistical plans
Regional Workshops• Survey Design (7)• Data Processing (6)• Data dissemination and further analysis
– Interpretation of results, tables– Dissemination– Further analysis
• Bangkok (EAPRO-ROSA): 23-28 May• Istanbul (Global): 24-30 June• Dakar (Africa): 19-26 July• Belgrade (Global): 13-19 November
Methodological work• Completed:
– Post-natal care– Early childhood development– Life satisfaction– Child disability medical assessment– Place for hand washing– Unmet need
• Ongoing– Child labor– Vulnerability– Migration– PDA/Tablet use
Questionnaires
• Modules that were “additional/optional” or which were being developed at the time of the first workshop are now part of the core set of questionnaires
• A single set of questionnaires are now being used – no additional or optional modules
• DEMOGRAPHICS• ORPHANHOOD• EDUCATION• WATER AND SANITATION• HOUSEHOLD
CHARACTERISTICS• INSECTICIDE TREATED
NETS• INDOOR RESIDUAL
SPRAYING• CHILD LABOUR• CHILD DISCIPLINE• HANDWASHING • SALT IODIZATION
• AGE AND LITERACY• ACCESS TO MASS MEDIA AND
USE OF ICT• CHILD MORTALITY (WITH OR
WITHOUT BIRTH HISTORIES)• DESIRE FOR LAST BIRTH• ANTENATAL, DELIVERY, POST-
NATAL CARE• ILLNESS SYMPTOMS• CONTRACEPTION, UNMET
NEED• FGM• ATTITUDES TOWARD
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE• MARRIAGE/UNION• SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR• HIV/AIDS• MATERNAL MORTALITY• TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL USE• LIFE SATISFACTION
• AGE• BIRTH REGISTRATION• PRE-SCHOOL ATTENDANCE,
EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
• BREASTFEEDING, INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD FEEDING
• CARE OF ILLNESS (DIARRHOEA, PNEUMONIA, MALARIA)
• IMMUNIZATION• ANTHROPOMETRY• IMMUNIZATION MODULE
FOR HEALTH FACILITIES
Other Questionnaires
• Men’s Questionnaire (15-49 or 15-59)• Child disability
• Anemia, HIV testing in a few countries
• Testing PDAs/Tablets in selected countries (Costa Rica, Oman, Qatar, Thailand)
Data collection through MICS is a primary source of disaggregated data
MICS provides data for more than 100 indicators which can be disaggregated by:• geozones• residence (urban,
urban-poor, rural)• gender• education• age• wealth• ethnicity/religion/
language• other stratifiers• combinations of the
above

Improved sanitationUse of improved sanitation among non-poor urban households is 4 times higher than the urban poor households
Sampling
• Increases in sample size– 7000 in MICS3– Around 10,500 in MICS4
• Over-sampling for under-5s, minority groups
• Weighted sample designs• 12 percent relative error
– 20 %, +/- 2.4– 40 %, +/- 4.8

Initial impressions• Increased sample sizes, increased cost• Improvements in length and content of
training, sampling, data processing• Target of publication of final report 12
months after fieldwork not met in some countries
• Major bottlenecks: Simultaneous data entry, data processing/editing/tabulations
• Overall improvements in data quality
Rest of 2011 (and early 2012)
• Continue support to unfinished surveys• Upload reports, data sets to childinfo.org• Ongoing methodological work
– Water quality testing– Child labor– Vulnerability– Unmet need– PDA/Tablets
• Preparations for MICS5
2012-2014
• MICS5 will be implemented in 2012-2014
• Short period after MICS4, increased survey activity expected due to– MDG deadline in 2015– UNICEF’s strengthened commitment to
reaching the MDGs with equity

Timeline for reporting on MDGs
UNICEF’s Equity (Re)Focus
• UNICEF is re-focusing on reaching the most vulnerable population groups
• Progress in meeting national and international goals, but progress is not uniform, disparities are increasing
• Intensified efforts to reach the disadvantaged populations will accelerate overall progress, at low cost
UNICEF’s Equity (Re)Focus• While interventions are supported,
monitoring of progress will be emphasized – to generate the evidence and guide interventions
• UNICEF’s internal monitoring systems, process monitoring, and objective validation of results: Household surveys, MICS
• Increased demand for MICS surveys expected during 2012-2014
MICS Coordinates
