UNICEF has announced that the European Union will contribute €1.5 million to support the first Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) in Libya, announced UNICEF on Sunday.
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) is developed by UNICEF to assist countries in filling data gaps for monitoring several key human development indicators and to gather essential data on the overall situation of children and women. It is a rich source of information on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), collecting about 33 SDG-relevant indicators.
According to UNICEF, the MICS survey will “enable evidence-based planning and policy formulation toward the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in particular toward the realization of children’s rights.”
UNICEF, in partnership with the Bureau of Statistics and Census (BSC), will conduct the MICS survey, an international household survey program developed by UNICEF in the 1990s. The total cost for the MICS survey is estimated at US$ 3 million.
