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

The variable hv024 (in the HR and PR files), v024 (in the IR, BR, and KR files) and mv024 (in the MR file) is generically referred to as region. In the Haiti surveys, it is the department. Here are the codes in the 2017 survey:

. label list HV024
HV024:
0 aire metropolitaine
1 rest-ouest
2 sud-est
3 nord
4 nord-est
5 artibonite
6 centre
7 sud
8 grand'anse
9 nord-ouest
10 nippes

These match with the departments given here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departments_of_Haiti but in a different sequence.
