MICS4 in the Context of Global Commitments and
Reporting Needs
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Presentation overview
• Changing monitoring context
• Evolution of MICS over time
• MICS uses at national and global levels
• MICS4 – new developments
Exciting new developments
• Major increases in attention and funding for maternal, newborn and child survival
• Unprecedented amount of new data for monitoring
• Extensive work with partners on monitoring and indicator development
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Exciting new developments
• Child deaths are continuing to decline below 10 million; some progress in maternal mortality reduction
- 8.8 million U5 deaths in 2008
• Major improvements in key intervention coverage indicators; further measurable declines in child mortality
But much more remains to be done…

Household survey activity(2005-2007)
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Evolution of data collection since 1990 (MDG baseline)
Before 1990, 30 countries with data on whether undernutrition was rising or falling
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Evolution of data collection since 1990 (MDG baseline)
Today, 118 countries with data on whether undernutrition was rising or falling
Extensive work with partners on monitoring activities
• Interagency monitoring groups play a critical role in the following areas:– Harmonizing monitoring work across partners– Developing new methodologies, standard
indicators and monitoring tools – Building statistical capacity at country level– Developing joint estimates
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Interagency Monitoring Groups– Child Mortality Estimation Group (UNICEF, WHO, WB, UNPD)
– Malaria MERG (UNICEF, WHO, WB, CDC, others)
– HIV/AIDS MERG (UNICEF, UNAIDS, WHO, others)
– Water/Sanitation: JMP Water and Sanitation (UNICEF, WHO)
– Immunization Interagency Estimation Group (UNICEF, WHO)
– Maternal Mortality Estimation Group (UNICEF/WHO/UNFPA/WB)
– Countdown to 2015 (20+ partners)

Evolution of MICS over time
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Evolution of MICS over time
Past: World Summit for Children indicators only - Developed to fill gaps for WSC monitoring
Present: Numerous international goals and targets - Millennium Development Goals - Countdown to 2015 - World Fit for Children - UNGASS targets for HIV - RBM targets for malaria - UNICEF/MTSP
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Evolution of MICS over time• MICS implemented every 5 years since 1995
(MICS1 in 1995, MICS2 in 2000, MICS3 in 2005)
• Nearly 200 MICS surveys conducted globally in first three rounds of surveys
• MICS3 in over 50 countries during 2005-2006
• MICS frequency increasing from every 5 years to every 3 years (MICS4 in 2009-2011)
• Full datasets and reports at www.childinfo.org
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
MICS at national & global levels
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
MICS uses at national level
• Support evidence-based programs & policy formulation
• Evaluate countries’ progress in making available key interventions for child and maternal survival and well-being
• Evaluate disparities between sub-groups within countries
• Track trends in key areas, including progress toward national commitments (e.g. PRSPs, MDGs)
• Identify new areas of concern for the government
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Analyses for evidence-based programming
Programmatic implication: Premature introduction of water should be eliminated to increase exclusive BF rates
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
MICS uses at global level• Millennium Development Goals
- Largest single source of MDG data, along with DHS - 20+ of 53 MDG indicators derived from MICS3
• World Fit for Children - WFFC+5 Commemorative Session (December 2007)
• Countdown to 2015 - Major effort to track key intervention coverage for MDGs 4 & 5
• Other major global goals and targets, including: - UNGASS targets for HIV/AIDS - RBM targets for malaria
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Millennium Development Goals• UNICEF/WHO lead agencies for reporting on health-related
MDGs– MDG 1 (nutrition)– MDG 4 (child mortality)– MDG 5 (maternal health)– MDG 6 (HIV/AIDS and malaria) – MDG 7 (water and sanitation)
• S-G MDG Report - UNICEF provides key data and analyses; Major MDG report planned for 2010 – MICS4 key data source
• MDG country profiles
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Countdown to 2015• Global effort to track progress in child, maternal and newborn
survival - monitors coverage of key interventions for MDG 4 & 5
• 1st conference in December 2005; 2nd conference in April 2008 - to take place every 2-3 years
• Countdown Report issued for each conference; 2008 Report prepared by UNICEF with partners
• Profiles prepared for 68 Countdown priority countries; includes coverage indicators and contextual data (e.g. policies)
• MICS major data source for Countdown reports

MICS 4 – New developments
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
MICS 4 – New developments
• Increased MICS frequency – MICS4 in 2009-2011
• Increased pressure to expand MICS4 questionnaire
• New modules to reflect emerging areas of interest – early childhood
development, youth, quality of life, etc.
• Increased need for data analyses for evidence-based programming
• Demand for data by end-2010 for use in high-level reports:– S-G MDG report (special report planned for 2010)
– Countdown to 2015 (next conference planned for Sept. 2010)
– RBM 2010 targets (high-level report planned for Sept 2011)
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
MICS4: Inclusion criteria
MICS4 inclusion criteria:
• Relevant MDG indicators
• Continuity with WSC indicators
• Interagency agreement on indicators
• Relevant to assessing situation of children and women
• Previously validated modules
• Possible to collect through household surveys
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
MICS4: New areas of measurement• Reproductive health
