Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - Round 4 [hh/mics-4]
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, Round 4 (MICS4) is the forth round of MICS surveys, previously conducted around 1995 (MICS1), 2000 (MICS2), and 2005-2007 (MICS3). MICS was originally developed to support countries measure progress towards an internationally agreed set of goals that emerged from the 1990 World Summit for Children.
The fourth round of Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS4) is scheduled for 2009-2011 and survey results are expected to be available from 2010 onwards. MICS4 data allow countries to better monitor progress toward national goals and global commitments, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as the target year 2015 approaches.
Information on more than 20 of the MDG indicators is being collected through MICS4, offering one of the largest single sources of data for MDG monitoring. MICS4 continues to address emerging issues and new areas of interest, with validated, standard methodologies in collecting relevant data. It also helps countries capture rapid changes in key indicators.
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 objective of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2010 survey is to collect data on the health, education, development and protection, implementation of rights of children and women in Mongolia, examine females and males knowledge and sexual behavior on HIV, AIDS and to monitor the progress on achieving the goals of the Plan of Action of "A World Fit For Children", Millennium Development Goals and the "National Program to Improve Child Development and Protection".

Baghs in soums and khoroos in Ulaanbaatar were taken as the primary sampling units. Altogether 420 baghs and khoroos in the country were selected with probability proportional to size. 25 households within each of these selected units were sampled using the systematic sampling method, and a total of 10, 500 households were selected. For reporting national level results, sample weights are used.
