During MICS4, UNICEF produces a video on the various aspects of the MICS programme, the survey tools and the kind of data its surveys collect.

The MICS surveys evolved from being a relatively simple tool for monitoring progress toward the World Summit for Children goals and targets to becoming one of the most important sources of data for tracking progress toward the Millennium Development Goals as well as other major international commitments for improving the lives of women and children worldwide,

said UNICEFs Chief of Statistics and Monitoring and Associate Director of the Division of Policy and Practice, Tessa Wardlaw.
