Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:


It is DHS policy never to identify the specific enumeration areas that appear in a survey. This is part of the promise of confidentiality to the respondents. In fact, we do not have this information. Any links between the data and the sampling frame are destroyed after the data files have been constructed.

We had no involvement in the LCMS's and do not know whether this policy applied to them as well.

It is conceivable that the Zambian CSO can help with the LCMS, but supposedly they, as well as DHS, cannot link the survey cluster codes to the enumeration areas.
