#MICSForSomalia
Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey round seven (MICS7) Steering Committee Meeting convened today with participation of SNBS, @unicefsomalia, @iom_somalia, @WHOSom, Federal Ministries & FMS representatives to advance Somalia’s most exciting household survey yet — centering on the wellbeing of children & women throughout the country.
Led by SNBS in partnership with UNICEF, MICS7 aims to deliver high-quality, disaggregated data on health, education, child survival & climate resilience—critical for policy & planning. The meeting reviewed implementation progress, key indicators & coordination pathways.
With new innovations like CAPI-based data collection, water quality testing & IDP-inclusive modules, MICS7 positions Somalia to close key data gaps & accelerate SDG 17.18. Strong national ownership & partner support remain vital as we move towards the next phase. @AbdisalamHumbul@abdirahm_omar
