Monitoring the Situation of Children and Women: Findings from the Mongolia Child and Development Survey 2005 (Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 3), Preliminary Report

The current survey was designed to collect information on a large number of indicators required for monitoring the goals and targets of the Millenium Declaration, The World Fit for Children Declaration and Plan of Action, and the goals of the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS. The survey will not only serve as an up-to-date source of information on the current situation of infants, children and women in Mongolia but also provide valuable feed-back on the impact of the Mongolian National Plan of Action for Children. The results of the survey will serve as the key source of data when preparing the national report from the Government of Mongolia, for the United Nations 'A World Fit for Children Commemorative Session' in 2007 where national, regional and global progress reporting will be done.
