I have worked with the databases from Senegal. In most of the DHS surveys, I found 1 KR file that merges with 2 GPS files: 1 GPS file with latitude/longitude, and a 2nd GPS file with temperature, vegetation, etc. I have merged each KR file with the respective 2 GPS files, creating a single file: KR file + 1st GPS file + 2nd GPS file.
However, for the DHS surveys in 2014 and 2016, the number of KR files does not match the number of GPS files (see below), so I am unsure how to merge them. I would be grateful if you could help me. I really appreciate any help you can provide.
