UNICEF Data
UNICEF’s Data Team is the global go-to for data on children. It leads the collection, validation, analysis, use and communication of the most statistically sound, internationally comparable data on the situation of children and women around the world. The team upholds the quality, integrity and organization of these data and makes them accessible as a global public good on the UNICEF Data website.
Innocenti - Research and foresight
UNICEF Innocenti – Global Office of Research and Foresight drives change for children and young people by generating evidence, collecting data, featuring the voices of children and offering foresight on frontier issues and emerging practices. Their work aims to inform policy and advocacy that will eventually help UNICEF and the global community protect the lives and rights of children, young people and families.
InForm
InForm, UNICEF's Self-Service Data Collection Platform, provides UNICEF and partners a turnkey solution for field-based data collection for rapidly conducting surveys, including collection, storage, and management. InForm supports UNICEF's strategic outcomes and strengthens our position as the global leader in data for children.
Knowledge management
Knowledge at UNICEF is a web publishing platform enabling UNICEF offices to quickly and easily share technical knowledge products across all areas of our work with partners and the general public. This includes guidance notes, toolkits, working papers, research reports, policy briefs and other technical content. It is complementary to the main UNICEF.org public website.
Multiple indicator cluster surveys (MICS)
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys programme, known as MICS, is the largest source of statistically sound and internationally comparable data on children and women worldwide. Trained fieldwork teams conduct face-to-face interviews with household members on a variety of topics – focusing mainly on those issues that directly affect the lives of children and women. MICS is an integral part of the plans and policies of many governments around the world, and a major data source for 40 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators.
TransMonEE
TransMonEE is a three-decade-old regional partnership initiative among the National Statistics Offices (NSOs) that aims to strengthen the coverage, quality, disaggregation, accessibility and use of data on children across a breadth of areas relevant to children’s rights and well-being, aligned with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
