The Viet Nam’s multiple indicator cluster survey (MICS) 2010-2011 report was launched today in Ha Noi
The survey was carried out between 2010 and 2011 by the General Statistics Office (GSO) in close collaboration with various line ministries and UN agencies UNICEF and UNFPA. It provides a comprehensive, updated picture of the situation of children and women in Viet Nam.
