Hello,
I am trying to link two sets of surveys together on standard enumeration area (SEA):
(1) 2006 Zambia LCMS to 2007 Zambia DHS
(2) 2015 Zambia LCMS to 2014 Zambia DHS.
In theory, these should be matchable, since the DHS uses the census supervisory areas (CSA) and SEAs that Zambia's Central Statistical Office draws for the LCMS.
However, SEA is numbered differently in DHS and LCMS. In DHS, the numbers (variable: hv001/hv004) are unique: in 2007, they run from 1 to 320, and in 2014 they run from 1 to 722. In LCMS, the numbers are not unique and repeat across districts. Does a concordance file exist to match the SEAs in LCMS to DHS for the aforementioned years?
Thank you,
Kim
