  1. Multiple Indicator Cluster SurveysData Dissemination and Further Analysis Workshop MICS Global Update MICS4 Data Dissemination and Further Analysis Workshop

  2. 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)

  3. 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)

  4. 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

  5. Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS)Since 1995, more than 100 countries and close to 230 surveys Notes: Countries with at least one MICS survey Including sub-national surveys and ongoing MICS4 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 countries

  7. 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

  8. MICS4 Surveys by Region

  9. Status of MICS4 Surveys

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. Demographics • Orphanhood • Education • Water and Sanitation • Household Characteristics • Insecticide Treated Nets • Indoor Residual Spraying • Child Labour • Child Discipline • Handwashing • Salt Iodization

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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)

  18. Disaggregation • 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 Data collection through MICS is a primary source of disaggregated data

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

  20. 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

  21. Selected sample sizes from MICS4

  22. 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

  23. 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

  24. 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

  25. Timeline for reporting on MDGs 2010 Large number of countries to conduct surveys for MDG monitoring 2011 MICS 4 2012 2013 MICS 5 2014 Data compilation and analysis Summer 2014 2015 Submission of data for SG’s report March 2015 SG’s MDG Report launch September 2015

  26. 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

  27. 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

  28. MICS Coordinates • Reports, survey documents, micro data sets are available for download, free of charge, at www.childinfo.org • Easy access to MICS results – comparative tables, graphs and maps at www.micscompiler.org
