Government of the Punjab is committed to reduce poverty through sustaining high growth in all aspects of provincial economy. An abiding challenge in maintaining such growth pattern is concurrent development of capacities in planning, implementation and monitoring which requires reliable and real time data on development needs, quality and efficacy of interventions and impacts. Being cognizant of this need, Planning and Development Department is consistently working on improved systems for generation of accurate information on development needs and impacts of the investments made through development budgets. Social sectors remain a priority area for the government and development outlays for these sectors have grown multifold over the last five years. Government of the Punjab is committed to attain the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for education, health, water supply & sanitation and poverty. That would require not only provision of adequate resources but also a very robust system for ascertaining the area specific needs, efficient use of resources and regular monitoring of the results and impacts. Towards this end, government, with assistance of UNICEF, has embarked upon periodic conduct of Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). The first such survey was carried out in 2003-04 and proved to be the most important tool in determining government budgetary outlays for the next four years, particularly for the social sectors. MICS 2003-04 was based on 40 indicators and the usage of information generated by the survey pointed to the need of further improvements in the scope and coverage of selected indicators. Therefore, scope of MICS 2007-08 was further expanded to more than 70 indicators and the coverage ZDVH[WHQGHGGRZQWR¶WHKVLO· level. This posed much greater challenges in terms of logistics and man-management but it is matter of great satisfaction that final product has proven to be worth that effort. The results of 2007-08 survey not only provide information on progress made in key social indicators since 2003-04 but also provide an excellent baseline for the key social indicators to the provincial planners. The Punjab Bureau of Statistics, Planning & Development Department, partner organizations at the provincial and district level richly deserve all the credit for coming up with an excellent report. Special credit also goes to UNICEF for their unstinted support for the MICS over the years and bringing international expertise to support this effort. I am confident that this report will prove to be a valuable source not only for the planning efforts of government of punjab but also a valuable reference for the academia and research organizations.

The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) Punjab 2007²08 is the result of ceaseless efforts of different departments and organisations. Funded through the Annual Development Programme, the survey was conducted by the Bureau of Statistics, Punjab with technical support of UNICEF. The Federal Bureau of Statistics provided the sample design which was also reviewed by an international consultant. The validation of survey was undertaken by the Social Work Department, University of the Punjab, Lahore. The survey covered 6,368 clusters and 91,280 households in urban and rural areas throughout the province. The fieldwork was started on 12 December 2007 and completed on 10 April 2008. Punjab MICS 2007²08 allows the provincial government and districts to gauge and monitor their respective status of human and social development with precise data on a variety of key indicators. It will assist the decision-makers to move towards new avenues of human and social development. MICS 2007²08 is result of collective efforts of many individuals and each one of them merits recognition. The Chairman, P&D Board (who also heads the Provincial Steering Committee of MICS) and Secretary P&D Department extended their fullest support and guided throughout the process. Mr. Shamim Rafique, Director General, Bureau of Statistics and his team deserves special mention. Their hard work and dedication has made it possible that the final product is completed in time. The keen interest and contribution made by the members of the Steering Committee, Technical and Planning & Coordination Group, Chief (MEPA) and his team are also acknowledged. MICS 2007-08 would not have been possible without technical support of UNICEF. Dr. Deepak Bajracharya, Provincial Chief, UNICEF, and his team played an active role throughout the process. Special thanks are due to Dr Manar Abdel Rahman, who led the process; Mr. Armando Levinson and Ivena Bajelic, International consultants for MICS 2007-08; The Federal Bureau of Statistics for providing sample design and listing; ECI (Pvt) Limited for facilitating trainings; Social Work Department, University of the Punjab, Lahore for monitoring; M/s Eycon (Pvt) Ltd for data management support; and many more partners. The fieldwork of this survey was a mammoth exercise but tireless efforts made by the regional supervisors, team supervisors and field enumerators (both male/ female in house listing and interviews) made possible to complete this difficult task in record time and without any major operational issue. The entire field teams deserve appreciation. All district governments and Administrative Departments provided valuable support by contributing services of their staff in the process. Communities, local leadership and members of the sampled households devoted their time and resources to facilitate the work of survey teams. They need to be applauded for their confidence in sharing their personal information and enriching this survey. The information provided by them remains in trust and will not be used for any purposes other than their benefit.

INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background his report is the 35th volume of the tesil based Punjab MICS 2007²08, conducted from TDecember 2007 to April 2008 by the Bureau of Statistics (BOS), Planning and Development Department, Government of the Punjab. To provide a snapshot of progress on indicators for Khushab District, the report compares the results of MICS 2007²08 to those of MICS 2003²04 by tehsil where ever available. Punjab MICS is a household survey intended to assist the Government of Pakistan/ Punjab in planning and monitoring social service delivery and other indicators of development. The survey fills gaps in essential data, providing recent and relevant information at the provincial, divisional, district and tehsil level. The survey findings will ultimately feed into government programmes for sustainable development and poverty alleviation. The MICS report fulfils an important role in monitoring progress towards attaining goals and targets from key international agreements: the Millennium Declaration, adopted by United Nations member states in September 2000, and the Plan of Action for 'A World Fit For Children', adopted at the United Nations Special Session on Children in May 2002, and commitments made at the 1990 World Summit for Children. As a signatory, Pakistan is committed to improving the situation of all its citizens, especially children, and to report upon progress made in the years since the agreements. The value of this survey goes far beyond generating data for international reporting. To formulate and achieve goal-oriented plans it is essential that resources are distributed based on rational and appropriate objectives at the provincial, district and tehsil level. The Punjab MICS 2007²08 will meet the data needs of researchers, academia, policymakers and managers at the grassroots level. The survey was coordinated and supervised by the Technical, Planning and Coordination Groups chaired by the Chief Economist Planning and Development (P&D) Board. These groups comprised of key technical staff of the line departments and UNICEF. The Government of Punjab financed the MICS through its Annual Development Programme and UNICEF provided technical assistance. 1.2. Survey Objectives The primary objectives of the Punjab MICS 2007²08 are: x To update and compare the results of Punjab MICS 2003²04 with finding in Punjab MICS 2007²08 at the district and tehsil levels; x To establish benchmarks indicators which were not included in Punjab MICS 2003²04 but are included in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); x To highlight inter-district disparities on the basis of evidence in order to address them through appropriate district and tehsil-level social sector planning efforts by the provincial government; x To develop a strong advocacy tool for action on poor social service delivery; x To provide information on the situation of children and women and assist the government in establishing child-focused benchmarking to report on the MDGs and the government's long term plans, and to measure progress; x To build the capacity of government institutions by encouraging their active involvement in all phases of the survey.

1.3. Organisation of the Report The report for Punjab MICS 2007²08 comprises 36 volumes. This, the 35th volume, presents results at tehsil level for Khushab District. Technical aspects of the survey are described in the appendices of Provincial Report (Volume 1). 1.4. Questionnaires Questionnaires for the Punjab MICS 2007²08 were based on MICS²3 model questionnaires with some modifications and additions to accommodate additional indicators selected by the Government of the Punjab. A Table SD.1A: Sample size and allocation (households) household questionnaire was administered in each sampled Households Major Other household, with three major Rural Total City Urban sections: information on all household members, individual Punjab 10464 21360 59456 91280 questionnaires for each ever- married woman aged 15²49 Khushab District 0 360 768 1128 years, and a children's section

administered to mother or Tehsil caretakers of children under 5 years of age. The questionnaires Khushab 0 276 400 676 included the following modules: Noorpur Thal 0 84 368 452 x Household Questionnaire o Household Listing o Education o Income and Employment o Water and Sanitation o Child Labour o Disability o Maternal Mortality o Household Characteristics o Salt Iodisation o Drinking Water Testing x Questionnaire for Individual Woman o Child Mortality o Maternal and Newborn Health o Contraception o HIV/AIDS x Questionnaire for Children Under 5 o Birth Registration o Vitamin A o Breastfeeding o Care during Illness o BCG Immunisation o Anthropometry

x MICS PUNJAB 2007-08 The MICS²3 model questionnaires were revised and customised to suit local conditions and translated from English into the Urdu language. The Urdu version of the questionnaire was pre- tested in November 2007 in the urban and rural areas on a set of households that was not included in the survey sample. Questionnaires were modified based on the results of the pre-test. 1.5. Training and Fieldwork Due to the large sample size and to ease management of the large fieldwork operation while assuring quality and proper supervision, the province was divided into ten regions of 3²5 districts each. Sargodha Region comprised of Sargodha, Bhakkar, Khushab and Mianwali districts. The BOS assigned one senior officer as Regional Supervisor for the region, who was responsible for all aspects of fieldwork. Household listing began in October 2007. The Federal Bureau of Statistics (FBS) trained listers taken by BOS from line departments and academia, and supervised the process through its regional offices. A 5-day training of master trainers was conducted in Lahore during November 2007. Master trainers comprised of technical staff from the BOS, female doctors from the health department and professional trainers engaged by UNICEF. The training was conducted by a private sector consultancy firm, Employment through Creativity Integration (ECI) Pvt Ltd. A manual was developed training interviewers and supervisory staff. Field enumeration staff was trained by master trainers at the regional level. The required staff for Sargodha region was trainined in two sessions through the courtesy of District Health Development Centre (DHDC) Sargodha in December 2007. Each session was standardised in terms of duration, content, material and instructional methodology and provided adequate opportunities for hands-on practice and closely supervised field work. Standardised instruction manuals for team supervisors and interviewers were developed and used during training and fieldwork. Each training session concluded with a standard evaluation of the participants. A total of eight team supervisors led the interviewer teams at Sargodha region were deployed. Each team comprised one male and two female interviewers. The male interviewers were responsible for locating sampled households, introductions, administering the household modules and performing water testing. The female interviewers administered the women and children modules to eligible women and mothers or caretakers of children. They also performed the anthropometric measurements on children. Depending on the size of the household, administration of each questionnaire took about 35²45 minutes. Each team supervisor supported two teams in urban or three teams in rural areas. Supervisors ensured that the visited household was one identified through the sampling process. They were also responsible for completeness and quality of work, keeping to schedules, and arranging transport and accommodation. Team supervisors were the primary link between regional supervisors and interviewers, and reported on their teams' progress and performance regularly. Teams were instructed to complete one cluster a day. All cluster and control sheets were delivered by team supervisors to their regional supervisor who forwarded them to the BOS headquarters in Lahore after two days to allow the completion of the water test. To establish the credibility of the survey, the University of the Punjab's Social Work Department was engaged as an independent monitoring organisation and was involved in the survey process from the beginning. This third party monitoring was intended to support, assess and report on the quality of all aspects of the survey work. The monitors covered questionnaire design, training, listing, fieldwork and back-checking of filled-in questionnaires, data management and report writing. The third party monitoring report is included in Provincial Report (Volume 1). Team supervisors for Sargodha region were largely taken from the BOS, Crop Reporting Service (CRS), Agriculture, Health, Social Welfare Departments and Gender Reform Action Plan (GRAP).

The interviewers were engaged from the BOS and other government line departments including Population Welfare, Health and CRS and included university graduates through the Gender Reform Action Plan (GRAP) and NGOs. In total, 60 interviewers, 8 team supervisors and a regional supervisor were involved in data collection. Thus about 70 field enumeration staff participated in fieldwork for the survey from 12 December 2007 to 10 April 2008. 1.6. Data Processing and Analysis Questionnaire responses received a preliminary edit on the spot by team supervisors. At the end of the day, the team supervisor and interviewers reviewed each questionnaire and filled in the cluster control sheet. The regional supervisor checked randomly selected questionnaires. Data editors deployed by the data management organisation conducted a final edit and check before data entry. Data handling and processing was managed by an experienced private sector agency which was responsible for survey data management and processing, including pre-entry editing, data entry, verification and consistency checks, preliminary tabulations and frequencies, support of the data analysis process and preparation of final data for dissemination in electronic form. In total, 48 data editors, 78 data entry operators and eight data supervisors and quality control staff took part in the data processing operation at provincial level. They were trained in four batches during May 2008. The two trainings for editors were conducted by Punjab MICS master trainers following the curriculum used in training interviewers. For better quality control, all questionnaires were double entered and internal consistency checks were performed. The data management operation site was housed within the BOS premises to ensure close monitoring. A short-term international consultant was engaged by UNICEF to review the technical aspects of data entry operation during June 2008 who recommend improvements in the data management process. Data processing began on 10 May and concluded on 15 September 2008. Procedures and standard programs developed under the global MICS²3 project and adapted to the Punjab questionnaires were used. Data were entered and processed using the CSPro software after customising standard data entry programs, and were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software program after customising the model syntax and tabulation plans. Syntax and tabulation plans were prepared for the additional indicators included in the survey. Table numbers used in this report refer to the same numbers used in the global MICS²3 tabulation plan. Each table number is prefixed by two letters denoting the section to which the table belongs. Generally numbering of figures reflects the table numbers from which the data used in the figures are obtained. 1.7. Dimensions of Data Analysis Data are presented for the entire province in Provincial Report (Volume 1). District Khushab data are disaggregated by tehsil, area of residence, sex, age, level of education and wealth index quintile and presented in this report.
