Abstract
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) was carried out in 2011 by the Somaliland
Ministry of Planning and National Development with technical and financial support from
UNICEF.
MICS is an international household survey programme developed by UNICEF. MICS was
conducted as part of the fourth global round of MICS surveys (MICS4). It provides up-to-date
information on the situation of children and women and measures key indicators that allow
countries to monitor progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other
internationally agreed upon commitments.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample for the Northeast Zone Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) was designed to provide
estimates for a large number of indicators on the situation of children and women at the zonal level, for
urban and rural areas, and for three regions: Bari, Nugal and Mudug. The urban and rural areas within
each region were identified as the main sampling strata and the sample was selected in two stages.
Within each stratum, a specified number of census enumeration areas were selected systematically with
probability proportional to size. After a household listing was carried out within the selected enumeration
areas, a systematic sample of 18 households was drawn in each sample enumeration area. Thirteen (13)
of the selected enumeration areas were not visited because they were inaccessible due to population
movement during the fieldwork period. The sample is not self-weighting and for reporting national level
results, sample weights are used. A more detailed description of the sample design can be found in

Response Rate
Of the 4,954 households selected for the sample, excluding the households in the 13 clusters that
were not surveyed, 4,904 were found to be occupied. Of these, 4,785 were successfully interviewed
for a household response rate of 97.6 percent. In the interviewed households, 5,839 women (age 15-49
years) were identified. Of these, 5,492 were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 94.1
percent within interviewed households. There were 4,827 children under age five listed in the household
questionnaire. Questionnaires were completed for 4,714 of these children, which corresponds to a
response rate of 97.7 percent within interviewed households. Overall response rates of 91.8 and 95.3 are
calculated for the women’s and under-5’s interviews respectively

Weighting
The sample for the Northeast Zone was implemented according to its design. However, information
onsegmentation was not systematically captured at the field level for most of the clusters. As a result,
information was incomplete for most clusters. Based on this finding, it was decided not to calculate the
weights at cluster level. The sampling weights were calculated at strata level.
The major component of the weight is the reciprocal of the sampling fraction employed in selecting the
number of sample households in a particular sampling stratum (h) :

Supervision
There were ten teaims and each team belongs one supervisor, one team leader, two editors and four enomorators. so role of the supervisor are as follows:
1. ensuring quality of work performed by Enumerators,
2. checking quality of work done on sample basis,
3. ensuring smooth complete conduct of the enumeration in their respective areas of supervision,
4. collecting completed survey questionnaires and forms from enumerators, and transmitting them to team leader.

Data Collection Notes
Training for the fieldwork was conducted for 14 days in March 2011. Training included lectures on
interviewing techniques and the contents of the questionnaires, and mock interviews between trainees to
gain practice in questionnaire administration. Towards the end of the training period, trainees spent two
days in practice interviewing in Garowe town in an area not selected for actual data collection.The data were collected by 10 teams; each comprised 6 interviewers, one sketch mapper, two field editors,
a supervisor and a team leader. Fieldwork was conducted in three phases, in 2011, due to challenges
relating to access. The first and major phase began on 2nd April – to 17th May 2011. Three areas with
a total of 70 clusters could not be accessed and data collection was planned to take place later. In the
second phase data was collected in the following areas; 41 clusters from South Galkayo and Hobyo (25th
July – 16th August), 13 clusters in Haradhere (15th - 29th August) and 16 clusters from Allula/ Bargar/
Ishkushban (15th - 21st December). Before data collection from these areas was done, refresher training
for the teams was done. The teams were selected from the same team that collected data in phase one.

Data Processing
Data Editing
Data were entered using the CSPro software. The data were entered on 12 computers and carried out
by 12 data entry operators and one data entry supervisor and one data manager. In order to ensure
quality control, all questionnaires were double entered and internal consistency checks were performed.
Procedures and standard programs developed under the global MICS4 programme and adapted to the
Northeast Zone questionnaire were used throughout. Data entry began in Garowe at Puntland State
University (PSU) two weeks into data collection in April 2011 but was stopped in June 2011 due to
technical and logistical challenges – the university uses a generator which kept on break down and
affecting data entry and some clerks were caught trying to shorten the time taken in entering data by
skipping sections of the questionnaire. Following consultations between UNICEF country office, the
Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation in the Northeast Zone, it was decided to ship all the
questionnaires to Nairobi and have data re-entered by a new set of data entry clerks. This second round
of data entry started in September 2011 and was completed in January 2012. Data were analysed using
the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software program, Version 18, and the model syntax
and tabulation plans developed by UNICEF were used for this purpose.
