The Belize Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS 4) 2011 is a part of the UNICEF - GOB Programme of Cooperation to monitor the progress of boys and girls development in Belize. MICS provides updated statistically sound and internationally comparable estimates of a range of indicators in the areas of health, education, child protection (including disabilities), water and sanitation and HIV and AIDS. The survey provides information on the prevalence of child mortality, stunting, wasting, underweight, and obesity; breastfeeding and supplementary feeding practices, including the immunization status of children. Information is also provided on the prevalence of diarrhea and pneumonia among young children and treatment sought. Valuable data on health practices, including access to improved drinking water sources and sanitation, and knowledge about HIV and AIDS are made available. Belize would also have data on child development, child protection and life satisfaction. The findings from the MICS are one of the most important sources of data used as a basis for policy decisions and programme interventions, and for influencing public opinion on the situation of children and women.
