Maximizing the use of MICS results• to report on progress towards national goals
and global commitments: MDGs, WFFC,CRC• to update the situation analysis of children in
the country• to identify vulnerable groups and highlight
disparities• to stimulate “positive” competition (compare
country to better- or worse-off neighbors or sub-national to national average)
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
• to advocate for strengthening public policies and programmes in favor of children (evidence-based data)
• to mobilize stakeholders and stimulate national and local debates

MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Accessibility to MICS findings and micro data
• Printed and electronic copies of the final report• “Light” version of the final report• Micro level datasets• CD ROM, flash drives• Ready made presentations• Website – national and regional • Childinfo.org and MICS Compiler• Online communities• DevInfo 6.0 (e.g., DI Book; DI Analyser)• Pocket card, factsheet, brochure, poster, etc.
MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Organizing live and/or remote presentations
