• Characteristics of the community (infrastructure, access to services)
• Demographic characteristics (sex, age, marital status, migration, fertility, infant and child mortality, maternal mortality)
• Housing and amenities
• Household possessions
• Household income
• Labour force and sources of income, including agriculture
• Education (enrolment, attendance, literacy, achieved level of education)
• Health (state of health, reproductive health, access and use of services)
• Security

IMIRA is able to provide the Millennium Development Goal indicators related to individual or household characteristics. It also provides data needed for the computation of UNICEF's Summit for Children indicators.

As the survey will be a multi-topic survey, it allows cross-cutting analysis of the distribution living conditions along a range of dimensions, and can therefore provide identification of vulnerable groups, geographic disparities and analysis of particular parts of the population, such as IDPs.
