Hi Kevin,
I think the main issue is you are using the wrong file. The provider dataset is not SNFP8AFLSP.dta, this is the Family Planning client dataset. The provider dataset is SNPV8AFLSP.dta. If you merge the facility and provider dataset, there are providers who work in rural areas.
If you are actually interested in the Family Planning client information, the reason there is all missing data for those rural facilities is that they are from cases de sante, which only had a facility inventory and provider interview, and did not include FP client observation/exits. If you look in the FP client dataset, even urban cases de sante are missing client level data.
Best,
Sara
