Sampling
The sample for the Social Indicator Sample Survey was designed to provide estimates for a large number of indicators on the situation of children, women and men in Nalaikh district, and its seven khoroos (first to seventh khoroos).
A total of 1000 households were selected and selection probabilities and corresponding weights vary by soum and PSU. As the main sampling strata, the sample was selected in two stages. At the first stage the primary sampling units (PSUs) within each stratum were selected systematically with probability proportional to size (PPS). After a household listing was carried out in the sample PSUs, a systematic sample of 25 households was selected within each sample PSU in second stage.
The official statistics of the household registration end of 2015 was used as a sampling frame. As the lowest administrative units - 52 khesegs of 7th khoroos were defined as primary sampling units (PSUs).The listing of households was updated during September to October, 2016.
Thus the data collection fieldwork took place during November and December 2016, when the internal migration of households was stable and managed to collect survey data entirely and covered all 52 selected sampling units.
Survey instrument
Questions and indicators for the survey were identified based on the survey objectives and covering the main indicators of the 5th round of the MICS model questionnaire recommended by UNICEF. Moreover, the principle of comparability internationally and with previous surveys was considered.

The NSO has conducted training for 25 fieldwork staff for 15 days during October 26 to November 11, 2016 by combined forms of lectures and practical sessions. The training included lectures on interviewing techniques and the questionnaires contents using tablets.
The paper questionnaire testing was carried out in 7th khoroo of Nalaikh district for two days and the testing of tablets in 6th khoroo for another two days. As the module on water quality was included in the CDS for the first time, a consultant from the Public Health Institute of Mongolia has been invited to give lectures on the water quality testing. Finally, all 25 participants were examined, on a basis of which we have selected the interviewers, editors and supervisors.
The data was collected by three teams; each team was comprised of a supervisor, 5 interviewers (2 men assigned as main measurers) and 2 drivers.
The data collection fieldwork was carried out during November 13 to December 6, 2016. Monitoring, assessment and timely clarification of the data entered on the central network during the data collection helped improve the quality of data. In addition, field monitoring visits were done by NSO and UNICEF staff, who were involved in the training process during the data collection processes and who observed some interviews and held discussions with the teams to address the issues and inaccuracies and ways for improvement. These contributed to overall quality of the data.
Data processing
The MICS utilized tablet PCs for data collection. This environmental friendly solution offered many advantages including, sending the data collected from the field immediately to the central office at a click of a button, time saving from data entry (in the case of paper surveys), cost in the long term and ensuring information collected are of high quality. Figure SM.1 shows the data collection and transferring process used in the survey.

The data collected by the interviewers was aggregated at the team supervisors level and after required clarification and editing, it was sent to the central network of the NSO. The data received at the central office were monitored and checked. Where additional clarifications were needed on a particular data, the team supervisors were made to contact the particular household.
The data collected from the selected households were entered on computers using the CSPro 5.03 software program. Procedures and standard programs developed under the global MICS4 programme and adapted to the MICS questionnaires with additional module and questions were used throughout. The data were analyzed using the standard SPSS 21.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) software program and the model syntax and tabulation plans developed by UNICEF were customized for this purpose.
