Series Information

In accordance with the Law on Statistics, the “Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2010”, the fourth round of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, was carried out in Mongolia by the National Statistical Office funded by the Government of Mongolia and UNICEF. The National Statistics Office (NSO) has conducted The Child Development Survey or a Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) with the support and assistance from the Government of Mongolia and UNICEF in 1996, 2000 and 2005 according to the international standards and methodology. According to the Clause J, Article 7.1, “Law on Statistics” of Mongolia, it is recommended to conduct The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey every 4 years. The survey was conducted to monitor the progress towards the goals and targets of the United Nations Millennium Declaration, adopted by all 191 United Nations Member States, and the Plan of Action of “A World Fit for Children”, adopted by 189 Member States at the United Nations Special Session on Children in May 2002. The Government of Mongolia has adopted in 2002 “National Program to improve Child development and protection” which ended in 2010. To evaluate the implementation of the Program the Government needed to collect updated information on the children's situation in Mongolia. The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey was conducted for the fourth time to assess implementation of the above mentioned Law on Statistics, to collect data for assessing the health, education, development, protection and situation of children and women to monitor the progress on achieving the goals of the implementation of the child protection related international agreements, the National Program and Millennium Development goals, and to revise the data from the previous survey. In this survey, the questionnaires and sample design were amended to include new areas, and the sample coverage was increased. Information on specific areas which were not included in the previous survey such as child injuries, hand washing places, access to and use of information technology, tobacco and alcohol use, life satisfaction, knowledge of disease symptoms, sexual behavior were collected. Furthermore, some modules from the previous survey were updated and enriched with additional information collected. An additional second stage assessment tool that will be used to confirm children's disability status is underway. A separate questionnaire was used for men, enabling the data to be segregated by sex of the respondents.

Abstract

The objective of the Survey is to collect and analyze data for monitoring the situation of children and women through a range of areas including health, education, development and protection, implementation of rights of children and women in Mongolia, and knowledge of females and males and their sexual behavior in relation to HIV, AIDS. This data is then reviewed in the light of the findings from the previous survey, and progress evaluated against agreed goals, including the goals “A World Fit For Children”, Millennium Development Goals and the “National Programme of Action for the Development and Protection of Children”.

The detailed information is invaluable to policymakers, planners, program managers, international organizations and other users allowing them to better understand the situation on the ground, to better target their interventions and budgets to address the challenges identified. The survey results will be a powerful tool influencing public opinion to leverage appropriate resources for children and families.
