The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) is an international household survey programme developed and supported by UNICEF. MICS is designed to collect data on key indicators that are used to assess the situation of children and women. Over the past three decades, MICS has continuously evolved to respond to changing data needs, expanding from 28 indicators in the first round in the mid-1990s to more than 250 indicators in the current seventh round, and has become a key source of data on child protection, early childhood education, and a major source of data on child health and nutrition. In addition to being a data collection tool to generate data for monitoring the progress towards national goals and global commitments for promoting the welfare of children, MICS provided valuable data for MDG and recently for SDG monitoring and reporting.
Under the overall supervision of the Household Survey Specialist, the Global Blood Testing Consultant has the responsibility for finalising the standard MICS questionnaire modules and associated protocols. In collaboration with the Global MICS Team in UNICEF Headquarters (HQ) and Regional Offices (ROs), and the respective UNICEF Country Offices (COs), as well the UNICEF Programme Group staff on Climate, Environment, Energy & Disaster and national partners, the Consultant will support the preparation, implementation, and completion of up to three MICS surveys (or similar UNICEF-supported survey) in relation to the blood testing component. When possible, the consultant will further provide input to UNICEF’s global efforts and support to data collection including blood sample, outside the MICS Programme.
Designs and protocols will follow those established for other components of the MICS Programme. The Consultant will work together with the Global MICS Team’s experts on sampling, data processing, and household survey support.
As part of the MICS programme, UNICEF continues to strengthen its MICS support mechanism at all levels, so that implementing partners in countries can receive the required level of technical assistance on a timely basis at critical survey stages and are in a better position to support the implementing partner. The 7th round of the MICS programme (MICS7) was launched in March 2023 and there are already 40 planned and ongoing MICS7 surveys and potentially 20-30 more surveys in the pipeline. There are also 7 surveys from the 6th round of the MICS programme that are still in data processing or report finalisation stages.
A very important element of MICS design and implementation is sampling, which is a very specialized field of work. Excellent sampling support is needed during the design, implementation, and reporting stages of all surveys.
As currently there is no sufficient funding to cover all planned activities, some deliverables are planned to be completed only if additional resources become available.
