Abstract
In Mongolia, the first MICS was conducted in 1996 by the National Statistical Office (NSO) of Mongolia. Since then, the second, third and fourth MICS were conducted, respectively, in 2000, 2005 and 2010 with the joint funding support from the Government of Mongolia and UNICEF. In 2013 NSO conducted the Social Indicator Sample Survey (SISS), applying MICS5 platform in collaboration with UNICEF and UNFPA. MICS was already covering some of the SDG indicators that are household-based. After undergoing rigorous methodological and validation work to broaden the scope of the tools and include new topics that reflect SDG indicators and emerging issues in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development context, MICS questionnaires in the sixth round will cover about 40 percent of household-based SDG indicators. Over the past 20 years MICS has evolved to respond to changing data needs, expanding from 28 indicators in the first round to 200 indicators in the current sixth round, and becoming a key source of data on child protection, early childhood education, and a major source of data on child health and nutrition.
Following objectives will be carried out in order to achieve the goal:
1. Provide child-friendly environment with granted rights to safe and healthy environment.
2. Build an environment suitable for discovery and development of talent and skills of all children
3. Cultivate mindset of listening to and respecting children's opinions in society, increase involvement of children in formulation, implementation and evaluation of policies.
4. Protect children from discrimination, pressure, violence, all forms of abuse and risks in all social environments.
5. Reduce child deprivation, including income and non-income poverty, by supporting welfare and social security for equality.
