Description

Definition
GEO_NP2016 reports the region of Nepal where the respondent was interviewed, using provinces as the units.

Other sample years for Nepal have their own sample-specific geography variables. The 2016 Nepal sample was included in integrated geographic variables, GEO_NP1996_2016 and GEOALT_NP1996_2016, which provide spatially consistent units over time.

A GIS map for GEO_NP2016 (in shapefile format) can be downloaded from the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository [URL omitted from DDI.] Boundaries page.
