  9. Why MICS6 should be carried • The long gap since the last MICS in 2010 and the resulting lack of up-to-date reliable data on women and children’s issues • The importance of updating data to measure progress made and ensure future programming is informed by the latest data • To ensure data standardization and develop data literacy in the country • The imperative to support the Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) 12th Five Year Development Plan, as the country transitions to LMIC status by 2023
