5. Notes: Countries with at least one MICS survey Including sub-national surveys and ongoing MICS4 surveys Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) Since 1995, 100+ countries and 240+ surveys

6. 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 surveys

7. MICS4

8. Launched in 2009 Will conclude at end of this year MDGs and other globally recommended indicators 69 surveys (as of October 2012) –National: 49 surveys –Selected regions/zones: 20 surveys

9. Years of data collection and survey populations

10. MICS4 Surveys by Region

11. SURVEY PROCESS

12. Low and middle/high income countries Chad, Mali, Costa Rica, Serbia, Qatar Emergency or post-emergency settings Somalia, Iraq, Sindh New to MICS (Bhutan, Mali), all MICS rounds (Serbia, Gambia), “returning” countries (Moldova, Afghanistan) Single household survey data source on children in several countries

13. Regional Workshops Survey Design (7) Data Processing (6) Data dissemination and further analysis Bangkok (EAPRO-ROSA): 23-28 May 2011 Istanbul (Global): 24-30 June 2011 Dakar (Africa): 19-26 July 2011 Belgrade (Global): 13-19 November 2011 Istanbul (Global): 24-30 June 2012 Amman (Global): 30 October-4 November 2012

14. Questionnaires Household Women’s Under-5’s Men’s Child disability questionnaire form (age 2-9) In some countries: –Anemia, malaria, HIV testing –(Health) Expenditures, Health insurance –PDAs/Tablets

15. Methodological work, new to MICS Post-natal care Early childhood development Life satisfaction Child disability medical assessment Place for hand washing Unmet need Access to mass media/ICT Tobacco and alcohol …and others

16. 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 Disaggregation

17. Mauritania 2007 MICS Use of improved sanitation among non-poor urban households is 4 times higher than the urban poor households

18. Sampling Increases in sample size –7000 in MICS3 –Around 10,500 in MICS4 Over-sampling for under-5s, minority groups Weighted sample designs

19. Selected sample sizes from MICS4

20. Finalizing Surveys Median number of months from completion of fieldwork to publication of final reports (including surveys in progress) Net median (only completed surveys): 13 months

21. 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, sampling Overall improvements in data quality

22. MICS5

23. MICS5 Timelines Global Pilot Survey (May-June 2012) Official launch by UNICEF (October 2012) Finalize survey instruments …and supporting documents (by end of 2012) Workshops: February 2013 onwards Survey implementation (2013 - First quarter 2014 at the latest)

24. MICS5 Pilot – Bangladesh, April-June 2012 Test the MICS5 questionnaires, new and modified modules Support Bangladesh CO and BBS for Bangladesh MICS 2012 Bogra/Sirajganj districts, 1000 households

25. New Children left behind Short consumption module Water testing (Arsenic, e- coli) Process Anthropometry training PDAs Modifications/Improvements Child discipline Child labour Immunization schedule Contraception Care of illness (Zinc) MICS5 Pilot – Bangladesh, April-June 2012

26. Other methodological work in 2012 New child disability screening module Child disability medical assessment More work on ECD Analysis of data on new modules in MICS4 (life satisfaction, post-natal care etc) Economic support/social protection

27. 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

28. 20112012201320142015 MICS 4 MICS 5 SG’s MDG Report launch September 2015 Data compilation and analysis Summer 2014 Large number of countries expected to conduct surveys for MDG monitoring Submission of data for SG’s report March 2015 MICS5 Global Pilot Survey Timeline for Global Reporting on MDGs
