  1. Multiple Indicator Cluster SurveysData Interpretation, Further Analysis and Dissemination Workshop MICS Global Update

  2. Global household survey programs Global household survey programs generating data on children and women have been in existence since the 1970s

  3. Global household survey programs • Multi-topic, multiple indicator surveys • World Fertility Surveys (1970s to early 1980s) • Contraceptive Prevalence Surveys (1980s) • Demographic and Health Surveys (since 1980s, USAID) • Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (since 1995, UNICEF) • Reproductive Health Surveys (1990s to 2010s, CDC) • MICS and DHS are now the two largest global survey programs on children and women

  4. Global household survey programs • Thematic (global) surveys • Living Standards Measurement Surveys (WB) • Malaria Indicator Surveys (RBM) • AIDS Indicator Surveys (USAID) • SIMPOC Surveys (ILO) • SMART Surveys (UNICEF et al) …and others • Regional Programs – PAPFAM (LAS), SILC (EUROSTAT) and others

  5. Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys • 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, in 1995 and 2000 • Nationally representative sample of households • Face to face interviews, observations, measurements

  6. MICS Since 1995

  7. Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS)Since 1995, more than 100 countries and around 240 surveys Notes: Countries with at least one MICS survey Including sub-national surveys and ongoing MICS4 surveys 281 surveys including MICS5

  8. MICS4: 2009-2013 • MDGs, other globally recommended indicators, new topics, emerging issues (e.g. ECD, life satisfaction, adolescents) • 60 surveys, 50 countries • National: 43 surveys • Selected zones, populations: 17 surveys • Low and middle/high income countries • Chad, Mali, Costa Rica, Serbia, Qatar, Argentina • Median sample size: 7800 households

  9. MICS5: 2012-2015 • MDGs, globally recommended indicators • 43 surveys, 40 countries • National: 34 surveys • Selected zones, populations: 10 surveys • Median sample size expected to increase by 20-25 per cent • Majority of surveys targeting final MDG assessment

  10. Timeline for global reporting on MDGs MICS/Household Surveys 2015 2012 2013 2014 Data compilation and analysis Until early to late fall 2014 Submission of data for SG’s report March 2015 SG’s MDG Report launch September 2015

  11. Year of Fieldwork Completion, MICS5 Surveys

  12. Regional Distribution, MICS5 Surveys

  13. Status of MICS5 Surveys SURVEY PROCESS

  14. MICS5 Countries • Low, middle and high income countries • Oman, Mali, Kazakhstan, Serbia • Emergency or post-emergency settings • Countries new to MICS (UAE), “returning” countries (Malawi, Guyana), or countries that have participated in (almost) all rounds (Serbia, Cuba)

  15. Regional Workshops • 2013 • Survey Design (5) • Kathmandu (March), Dakar (April), Amman (April), Managua (May), Dubai (June) • Data Processing (3) • Bangkok (June), Dakar (July), Dubai (October)

  16. Regional Workshops • 2014 • Survey Design (2) • Data Processing (1) and • Data Interpretation, Further Analysis and Dissemination (4)

  17. First Results, Impressions Enhanced technical support and coordination system, increased sample sizes, increased cost Improvements in compliance to recommendations, standard tools and approaches, and data quality Improvements in length and content of training, sampling, data processing Target of releasing results 3-6 months after fieldwork likely to be met for most surveys Major bottlenecks: Fast data collection, sampling, political or governance processes, many surveys

  18. Ongoing methodological work • Development of modules/protocols for • Rapid water quality testing • External economic support • Child disability • Survey tools • Tablet assisted interviewing

  19. Data From MICS Household surveys such as MICS generate • representative, high quality data • data on coverage, levels, attitudes and knowledge • data for a large number of stratifiers, disaggregates all at the same time, within a short period of time, and at low total cost

  20. Data From MICS • Data for more than 100 indicators which can be disaggregated by: • geozones • residence (urban, urban-poor, rural) • gender • education • age • wealth • ethnicity/religion/language • others • and for combinations of the above

  21. Data From MICS • Birth registration • Post-natal health • Life satisfaction • FGM/C • Fertility • Birth weight • Child discipline • Child labor • Early childhood development • Hand washing • Children left behind You may have generated data on some of these topics for the first time! Over the years, MICS has worked on the development of many new or improved measurement tools, including
