Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - Round 2 [hh/mics-2]
Series Information
In 1998, UNICEF embarked on a process of helping countries assess progress for children at end-decade in relation to the World Summit for Children goals (New York, 1990).
Indicators
The list of global indicators being used to assess progress at end-decade was developed through extensive consultation, both within UNICEF, particularly with Programme Division and the Regional Offices, and with WHO, UNESCO and the ILO. The global indicator list can be found in Annex 1 of the Executive Directive EXD/1999-03 dated 23 April 1999.
Mid decade experience
There are numerous sources of data for measuring progress at country level, but many either do not function well enough to give current and quality data, or do not provide the data required for assessing progress. Household surveys are capable of filling many of these data gaps. The mid-decade assessment led to 100 countries collecting data using the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), household surveys developed to obtain specific mid-decade data, or via MICS questionnaire modules carried by other surveys. By 1996, 60 developing countries had carried out stand-alone MICS, and another 40 had incorporated some of the MICS modules into other surveys. The mid-decade questionnaire and manual, the countries where a standalone MICS was implemented.
The end-decade assessment
The end-decade MICS questionnaire and manual have been developed specifically to obtain the data for 63 of the 75 end-decade indicators. These draw heavily on experiences with the mid-decade MICS and the subsequent MICS evaluation. The content is organized into question modules, for countries to adopt or omit according to the data already available. The development of the end-decade MICS questionnaire and manual has drawn on an even wider spread of organizations than the mid-decade MICS. They include WHO, UNESCO, ILO, UNAIDS, the United Nations Statistical Division, CDC Atlanta, MEASURE (USAID), Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and others.

Abstract
The 2000 Mongolia Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey has as its primary objectives:
· To provide up-to-date information for assessing the situation of children and women in Mongolia at the end of the decade and for looking forward to the next decade;
· To furnish data needed for monitoring progress toward goals established at the World Summit for Children and as a basis for future action;
· To contribute to the improvement of data and monitoring systems in Mongolia and to strengthen technical expertise in the design, implementation, and analysis of such systems.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample for the Mongolia Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) was designed to provide estimates of health indicators at the national level, for urban and rural areas, and for six regions: West, South, North, East, Central-1 and Central-2. The sample was selected in two stages. At the first stage, 300 census enumeration areas were selected with probability proportional to size. After a household listing was carried out within the selected enumeration areas, a systematic sample of 6000 households was drawn. Because the sample was stratified by region, it is selfweighting. For reporting the national level results, sample weights have not been used.
Response Rate
Of the 6000 households selected for the sample, 6000 were found to be occupied. Of these, 6000 were successfully interviewed for a household response rate of 100 percent. In the interviewed households, 8606 eligible women (age 15-49) were identified. Of these, 8257 were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 95.9 percent. In addition, 6199 children under age five were listed in the household questionnaire. Of these, questionnaires were completed for 6184 for a response rate of 99.8 percent.

Data Collection Notes
The field staff was trained for 10 days (for interviewers 5 days and for editors and supervisors 10 days) in early May. 2000. The data were collected by eight teams; each was comprised of six interviewers, two editors, one driver, and a supervisor. The MICS Coordinator provided overall supervision. The field work began in May 20, 2000 and completed in early August 2000.
Questionnaires
Questionnaires
In addition to a household questionnaire, questionnaires were administered in each household for women aged 15-49 and children under age five. The questionnaires are based on the MICS model questionnaire with the inclusion of the child disability module. From the MICS model English version, the questionnaires were translated into Mongolian. Questionnaires were translated back in to English from the Mongolian version. The questionnaires were pretested during Apr. 2000. Based on the results of the pretest, modifications were made to the wording and translation of the questionnaires.

Access conditions
Dataset available free of charge to registered users (www.childinfo.org).
MICS2 has put greater efforts in not only properly documenting the results published in the MICS2 country reports, but also to maximize the use of micro data sets via documentation and dissemination. For those MICS2 countries that granted UNICEF direct access to the micro data sets and documentation, a rigorous process was completed to ensure internal and external consistency, basic standards of data quality, corresponding documentation and, standardization of variable and value labels across countries.
