Description
Definition
GEOALT_ MW2010_2016 indicates the region of Malawi where the respondent was interviewed. The variable is integrated to yield units with consistent boundaries across samples.
DHS regions in GEOALT_ MW2010_2016 are equivalent to districts. Each sample also has its own non-integrated geography variable. An additional integrated variable, GEO_MW1992_2016, includes the 1992, 2000, and 2004 Malawi samples and contains less geographic detail (regions).
An integrated GIS map (in shapefile format) for Malawi can be downloaded here [URL omitted from DDI.].
