Safer Homes, Stronger Communities: A Handbook for Reconstructing after Disasters was developed on behalf of the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), to assist policy makers and project managers engaged in large-scale post-disaster reconstruction programs make decisions about how to reconstruct housing and communities after natural disasters. Post-disaster reconstruction begins with a series of decisions that must be made almost immediately.
Despite the urgency with which these decisions are made, they have long-term impacts, changing the lives of those affected by the disaster for years to come. As a policy maker, you may be responsible for establishing the policy framework for the entire reconstruction process or for setting reconstruction policy in only one sector. The handbook is emphatic about the importance of establishing a policy to guide reconstruction. Thank you for visiting. Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys - Previous Surveys - MICS Ind. Last update: Apr 2014 Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) UNICEF assists countries in collecting and analyzing data in order to fill data gaps for monitoring the situation of children and women through its international household survey initiative the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS).
Since the mid-1990s, the MICS has enabled many countries to produce statistically sound and internationally comparable estimates of a range of indicators in the areas of health, education, child protection and HIV/AIDS. MICS findings have been used extensively as a basis for policy decisions and programme interventions, and for the purpose of influencing public opinion on the situation of children and women around the world. Results from MICS, including national reports and micro level datasets, are widely disseminated after completion of the surveys and can be downloaded at this website.

Last update: Jan 2012 Overview Universal education will speed progress towards all development goals Almost all of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are interdependent, but achieving two of them – universal education (MDG 2) and gender equality and empowering women (MDG 3) – is vital to meeting all the others.
Educating children helps reduce poverty. Education will give the next generation the tools to fight poverty and conquer disease. School also offers children a safe environment, with support, supervision and socialization. Many countries are close to universal coverage Universal education may seem a relatively straightforward goal, but it has proved as difficult as any to achieve. Educating girls provides benefits through generations UNICEF advocates high-quality basic education for all, with an emphasis on gender equality and eliminating disparities of all kinds.
Educating a girl dramatically reduces the chance that her child will die before age five. Reference. Institute for Statistics. Professional Resources: Save the Children.
