Following is a response from Senior DHS Sampling Specialist, Mahmoud Elkasabi
As stated on page 275:
The 2007 PHC conducted in the Somali region used a different methodology due to difficulty of access. Therefore, the sampling frame for the Somali region is in a different file and in different format. Due to security concerns in the Somali region, in the beginning it was decided that 2011 EDHS would be conducted only in three of nine zones in the Somali region: Shinile, Jijiga, and Liben, same as in the 2000 and 2005 EDHS. However, a later decision was made to include three other zones: Afder, Gode and Warder.
This means that Somali region was stratified according to the region zones, where four strata were formed based on the zones and the urban/ rural. You also might check the frequencies of variable HV022. It will show you the exact stratification used in the survey.
