	| Hi Trevor, 
 Am facing the same issue as Yawo. I am examining a multilevel model in Afghanistan and want to run a random intercept model with region (v024) as the second level.
 
 A) Here is my code (based on Shireen's post):
 gen wt=v005/1000000
 gen wt2=1
 svyset region, weight(wt) strata(v023) , singleunit(centered) || _n, weight(wt2)
 
 Stata output follows:
 
 Note: Stage 1 is sampled with replacement; further stages will be ignored for variance estimation.
 
 pweight: <none>
 VCE: linearized
 Single unit: centered
 Strata 1: v023
 SU 1: region
 FPC 1: <zero>
 Weight 1: wt
 Strata 2: <one>
 SU 2: <observations>
 FPC 2: <zero>
 Weight 2: wt2
 
 B) Here is the Stata output for the svy: melogit model
 
 (running melogit on estimation sample)
 weights in variable wt not constant within groups defined by: region
 an error occurred when svy executed melogit
 
 C) Here is the output of the code you suggested to check if there is variation in the min/max of wt2:
 
 wt2 |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
 ------------+-----------------------------------
 1 |     29,461      100.00      100.00
 ------------+-----------------------------------
 Total |     29,461      100.00
 
 Thoughts?
 
 Thanks!
