•
•
•
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.
