Hello, I am in the process of approximating level-2 weights for a number of sub-Saharan African countries, and I am noticing discrepancies between v022, v024, and those areas listed in Appendix A of the reports. Here are some examples:

-- Chad2014: the number of strata reported by v022 (about 50) is more than that in the report (about 25). The areas in the report correspond with those regions reported under v024.

-- Congo2013: v022 lists 66, but the report does not correspond to the listing - fewer regions are listed in the report, and even then in percentages, (and not actual figures). V024 also does not correspond to the listing in the report.

-- Ethiopia2016: V022/ lists 25 strata, but the report only lists 11 regions. V024 corresponds to those listed in the report

How should handle these inconsistencies, use v024 for generating A_h.?
How about when it comes to svyset, use v024 or still stick to v022?

Thanks, cY
