Many thanks for your response!
To clarify the second question. In most GPS data files there is a file called GPS_Displacement_README which shows at what geographic level GPS information was displaced. I encounter two difficulties related to this:
One, GPS_Displacement_README file is missing in the following surveys
1. For Uganda MIS 2009
2. For Liberia MIS 2009 and for Liberia MIS 2011
3. For Nigeria MIS 2010
4. For Senegal MIS 2008/09

Can I get the displacement information for these surveys

Two: for example, in Uganda 2018/19 MIS GPS_Displacement_README states that the displacement was restricted at the district level and the corresponding district variable is found as shdistrict. For the Mali 2015 and 2021 MIS, GPS_Displacement_README shows that the GPS displacement was at the cercle level but the variable cercle is not found in the data set like that shdistrict for Uganda. The same is true for Burkina Faso 2014 and 2017/18 MIS, the GPS displacement was restricted at the province level, but the variable province is not found in the data set. The only geographic identifier in both Mali and Burkina Faso is region.
I really appreciate your response!
