About this portal.
MNCAH Data is the UNICEF monitoring program for maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health. It brings together indicators, analysis and tools that support national and subnational planning.
Who publishes this
This portal is published by UNICEF Data & Analytics. It is distinct from portals operated by other agencies covering related topics; where estimates are produced jointly or sourced from another body, the source is named on the page that carries the figure.

What it covers
Maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health across the life course — from pregnancy and birth through childhood and adolescence — including service coverage, health outcomes, and the systems and determinants behind them.
Full indicator scope is being documented and will be published here.
How data is labelled
The portal combines several kinds of information, and they are not interchangeable. Every figure and tool carries a label describing what it is:
- Official UNICEF dataPublished UNICEF estimates.
- Country-reported dataReported by national systems, not adjusted.
- Analytical estimateDerived through analysis or modelling.
- Pilot analysisExploratory; not for planning or citation.
- Beta toolWorking software still being validated.
Methods
Methodological notes, indicator definitions and comparability guidance are being documented and will be published alongside the first country and indicator pages.
