Description
Definition
GEOALT_MW2016 indicates the region of Malawi where the respondent was interviewed. DHS regions in GEOALT_MW2016 are equivalent to districts.
Other sample years have their own sample-specific geography variables There is also an integrated variable GEOALT_MW2010_2016 that provides spatially consistent units over time. Lesser geographic detail for the Malawi 2016 sample can be found in GEO_MW2016. An additional integrated variable, GEO_MW1992_2016, provides spatially consistent units over time with less geographic detail.
A GIS map for GEOALT_MW2016 (in shapefile format) can be downloaded from the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository [URL omitted from DDI.] Boundaries page.
