Description Getting started describes the important steps to take to prepare for conducting the MICS survey

Table of Contents Getting started 2.1 Identifying potential resources persons 2.2 Deciding on the level of aggregation 2.2 Estimating how long the survey will take 2.4 Calculating how much the survey will cost

Abstract Once it is decided that a Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey is necessary, this document describes four key steps that must be taken to establish the survey: 1) Identify a survey coordinator and a senior resource person who will be in charge of the design, implementation and analysis of the data. 2) Decide whether a nationally representative sample is sufficient or whether there is also a need for subnational estimates - for example, at the regional, state or provincial level. 3) Establish a timetable for the survey. Early planning is crucial because the full survey cycle, from inception to publication of results, may take several months.
