Monitoring and statistics
Core indicators in depth
UNICEF headquarters maintains a series of global databases on key indicators for monitoring the situation of children and women. This compilation of data is facilitated by the wide network of UNICEF field offices which submit updated information to Headquarters on an annual basis. These data are complemented by information obtained through other sources, including the ongoing collaboration with other relevant UN agencies. Prior to inclusion in the UNICEF global databases, the data are rigorously evaluated against a set of objective criteria to ensure an evidence base of the highest quality.
UNICEF maintains the Childinfo website as a source of up-to-date statistical information. Databases presently available on this site include:
- Child Survival and Health: Child Mortality; Malaria; Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI); Diarrhoeal Disease; Integrated Management of Childhood Diseases (IMCI);.
