Dear Qayum,

District level analysis with any DHS dataset is not representative.
You cannot use DHS for district level analysis because its sample design does not represents the district therefor any statistics/indicator based on DHS for districts are not reliable.

For district level analysis you should have to opt for MICS which is easily available from UNICEF.

Best of luck.
