The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) programme was developed in the 1990s. Since then, six rounds have been completed, with the 7th round (2023-2026) ongoing. During this time, 118 countries have carried out over 350 surveys. Microdata is available for the majority of surveys (see https://mics.unicef.org/surveys)UNICEF, in collaboration with the Graduate Program on International Affairs at the New School organized an international conference to promote the use of MICS data in 2004. A selection of papers was published in Minujin et al (2006) Human Rights and Social Policies for Children and Women: The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) in Practice, New York, New School.
