Description A short description of the
dataset and how the displace or missing GPS of some cluster covered during the survey was compiled.
Abstract Key results from Nigeria’s 2016-17 MICS-NICS survey are available in the final reports
from UNICEF and the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA)
and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Those reports and microdata are available at
https://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/nada/index.php/home.
This document is meant to accompany an auxiliary dataset of cluster location coordinates
(latitude and longitude) that may be helpful to persons who wish to conduct spatial analysis
of MICS-NICS microdata. The coordinates appear in a spreadsheet named
MICS-NICS_2016-2017_displaced_cluster_gps_coordinates.xls.
The coordinates there are intended to fall near, but not precisely on the locations where the
data were collected. In order to protect the privacy and safety of survey respondents, the
locations of individual households are not released, but a coordinate is released for 2,701
of the 2,702 clusters in the survey. To further protect respondent privacy, each cluster
1
coordinate has been displaced in a random direction and by a random distance from the
original cluster location. The purpose of this document is to give a short description of the
dataset and how it was compiled.
