Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - Round 2 [hh/mics-2]
Abstract
The principal objective of MICS 2 is to provide up- to-date information, through a nationally representative survey of households, women and children, to be used for assessing the situation of children and women in Syria at the end of the decade (1990s), furnishing data needed both for monitoring the country's progress towards the goals established at the United Nationsf World Summit for Children as well as for providing the information base for future action. The Survey was specially focused on estimating, accurately and at sub-national levels of detail, the prevailing state of infant and child mortality; education and literacy; water supply and sanitation; nutritional status of children; immunization of children against infections diseases; promotion of child health through dietary means; prevention, management and treatment of morbidity conditions among children; access to MCH and other health-related services; contraceptive prevalence and family planning; safeguards against the spread of HIV/AIDS; and several other aspects of children's welfare such as care for orphans, prevention of child abuse (the employment of minors), and the due registration of births.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The MICS 2, based as it was on a sample of 10,000 households drawn in accordance with a multi-stage random sampling procedure, could be described as a large-scale investigation which extended over all parts of Syria, providing due representation to the entire population of the country. The first stage of sampling had involved the identification of one-thousand clusters (i.e. survey localities), each with a population of 100 households. The number of clusters identified in each Governorate was determined on the basis of its ratio in the total population of Syria. In the second stage, 10 households were randomly drawn from the one-hundred households in each of the selected clusters. There could, thus, be no dispute regarding the validity of this sampling procedure.
