Hello,

When I mapped all 2013/2014 DRC DHS cluster GIS points in ArcGIS, there were 44 clusters located at (0 lat, 0 long) -- from the recode manual it appears this means there is no recorded GIS data for the location of these 44 clusters, or is it a mistake in the database?

Do you have a recommendation for the 44 clusters -- can you send me the lowest administrative unit (territory/district/town?) for those 44 clusters or point me to where in the data I may be able to find a somewhat precise location, so I can work with a GIS specialist to see how to still use the data from those missing their GIS coordinates?

Thank you,
Monica

As stated in the READ_ME file that accompanies the GPS datasets, for those locations for which we do not have GPS data they are listed as Lat/long 0,0 and SOURCE of MIS. This is not a mistake in the database.

The file which describes that data schema can also be found here: https://dhsprogram.com/What-We-Do/upload/MEASURE-DHS-GPS-Dat a-Format.pdf

There is no further geographic data available for those locations beyond what is listed in the GPS file.
