The Mongolia Multiple Indicator Survey was conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO) with the support and assistance from the Government of Mongolia and UNICEF.
The survey was conducted to monitor the progress towards the goals and targets of the United Nations Millennium Declaration, adopted by all 191 United Nations Member States, and the Plan of Action of “A World Fit For Children”, adopted by 189 Member States at the United Nations Special Session on Children in May 2002.
