Serbia MICS3 on DevInfo – Example

• • • MICS 3 was carried out by the Statistical Office of Serbia with the Strategic Marketing agency in 2005, with technical and financial support from UNICEF. MICS data were uploaded on DevInfo system and are used as a major source of information providing data to monitor national and international targets which include 21 out of the 48 MDG indicators.

With DevInfo, MICS data can be easily and timely presented as tables, charts, and maps. It helps promote the use of MICS data for improved planning and policy making.
