Libya conducted its most recent Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS7 Libya) under the Bureau of Statistics and Census (BSC), with our client echnical support. As Libya faces evolving demographic, social, economic, climate-related and humanitarian challenges, the need for timely, high-frequency data for evidence-based planning and policy has grown. To support responsive decision-making, our clienthas introduced MICS Plus – a high-frequency household monitoring system that complements the full MICS using Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) to generate periodic updates on selected indicators while

maintaining statistical rigour and alignment with the MICS methodology. Libya will implement two rounds of MICS Plus, building on the MICS7 Libya evidence base and

sample frame, supporting national monitoring priorities and strengthening BSC’s long-term capacity to run high-frequency phone-based household surveys.

our client Libya is recruiting a national consultant to support BSC in the planning, management, coordination and execution of MICS Plus. The consultant provides technical and coordination support to BSC, works closely with BSC focal persons, reports to our clientLibya Country Office, and maintains close collaboration with the our client Regional Office and Headquarters MICS teams. In addition to MICS Plus, the consultant will support finalization of MICS7 Libya (survey report and GIS outputs), Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA) / multidimensional child poverty analysis, and our clientLibya programme monitoring – including follow-up with sections and partners on eTools reporting and data collection via ActivityInfo.

MICS Plus requires specialized technical expertise in high-frequency CATI-based household surveys, sample design, CATI system development, data processing and analysis that is not available within existing office capacity. A dedicated national consultant is needed to provide continuous technical and coordination support to BSC across both rounds, ensuring methodological rigour, timely delivery and transfer of capacity to national counterparts.

Technical tools and decisions

• Finalize, with BSC and our client  Libya, all MICS Plus survey tools, CATI questionnaires, protocols and technical documentation (sample design, questionnaire drafting/revision, tabulation plans).

• Support implementation of key technical decisions across all phases: sample design, CATI system preparation and testing, training, data collection, processing, quality assurance, analysis, reporting and dissemination.

• Facilitate technical reviews by sampling, data-processing and household-survey experts at key stages, ensuring feedback is documented and incorporated. Fieldwork, data and analysis

• Support training of CATI interviewers and supervisors (call handling, respondent protocols, quality control, use of the digital data collection system).

institutionalizing high-frequency data systems within BSC.

Additional and cross-cutting support

• MICS7 Libya finalization – support quality review and finalization of the survey report and prepare GIS-based outputs (maps and geospatial visualizations of key indicators).

• MODA / multidimensional child poverty – provide coordination and support to the MODA consultant conducting the analysis (using MICS7 and, where relevant, MICS Plus data): facilitate access to datasets/documentation, coordinate between BSC, UNICEF Libya and the MODA consultant, and support review and finalization of outputs.

• Programme monitoring – follow up with our client in  Libya sections and partners on results reportin

in eTools (incl. PCA/partnership progress) and support data collection from sections/partners via ActivityInfo (form design/adjustment, data-quality checks, consolidation).

• Other monitoring tasks as required by the PME Section (field-monitoring support, dataconsolidation, dashboards)

Reports to our client's  Libya Country Office (PME Section), collaborating with the our clients Regional Office and HQ MICS teams and with BSC focal persons.

• Regular implementation updates to our client in Libya, with increased frequency during data

collection, data processing and reporting.
