Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

I don't believe chiefdom was coded in the data files. I see that it is on the cover sheets for the questionnaires, but there is no variable for it in the data files. The cluster code is given by hv001, hv004, and hv021, and district is shdist. There is a reference to 195 chiefdoms in the appendix on sampling, but the strata (given by hv022 and hv023) are the urban and rural portions of the districts. No tables in the final report refer to chiefdom. Perhaps another user can help, but if chiefdom is not already coded (with labels) in the data files, then we have no way to add it in.
