Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) is a global research programme developed by UNICEF through consultations with other United Nations agencies. MICS is designed to provide statistically sound and internationally comparable data for key social indicators and it is targeted at the most sensitive part of the population: women, children and vulnerable and marginalized population groups. The results of this survey are one of the most important databases, and for many indicators related to health, development and education of children, youth and women, MICS is the only source of data. For more information on Monitoring the Situation of Children and Women and global MICS programme please visit https://mics.unicef.org.
