1. MICS-2019 report

Nepal Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (NMICS) was conducted in 2019 by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) with the technical and financial support from UNICEF. The survey provides statistically sound and internationally comparable data essential for developing evidence-based policies and programmes, and for monitoring progress toward national goals and global commitments.

The 2019 Nepal MICS has as its primary objectives:

• To provide high quality data for assessing the situation of children, adolescents, women and households in Nepal;
• To furnish data needed for monitoring progress toward national goals, as a basis for future action;
• To collect disaggregated data for the identification of disparities, to inform policies aimed at social inclusion of the most vulnerable;
• To validate data from other sources and the results of focused interventions;
• To generate data on national and global SDG indicators;
• To generate internationally comparable data for the assessment of the progress made in various areas, and to put additional efforts in those areas that require more attention;
• To generate behavioural and attitudinal data not available in other data sources.
