The indicators you are interested can be calculated using code we have provided on our GitHub site: https://github.com/DHSProgram
However, before running any code please read the readme file and also the main file for the chapter. You will need to change the paths and select your survey as the first instructions. For the Ethiopia 2016 survey you will need the ETIR71FL.dta and the ETBR71FL.dta files.

We just recently uploaded the code for the FGM indicators on GitHub. You can find it here: https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/tree/mast er/Chap18_FG
Also you can read more about these indicators here: https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/inde x.htm#t=18_Female_Genital_Cutting.htm
The FGM indicators us the IR file.
As mentioned previously, before attempting to run any code from our GitHub code share site, please read the readme file and the main file for the chapter.
Perinatal mortality is a rate and you cannot create a dichotomous variable from this.
For your question on community level variables, there are many ways to do this. One easy way is to create a binary variable of the indicator you want at the community level and then take the mean at the cluster level. For example in the code below I create a binary variable for education that is secondary or more. Then I create a cluster or community level variable educlus as shown.
