Dear All,

does someone has the district labels for the Pakistan DHS data 1990-1991 and 2006-2007.
I had a look at the excel file related to 1990-91 wave which has been circulating here and I find it difficult to understand.
The stata file for 1990-91 data display -when doing a tab of the variable sdist- 93 numbers -from 1 to 93, hinting that there are 93 districts. The file excel which i previously mentioned do not have those 93 codes.
What is most peculiar is that doing a tab of the variables region and district -tab shdist hv024- shows that the same district code is in 4 different regions (e.g. the distric coded 1 is in the region 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Punjab, Sindh, Nw Fro., and Bal.). Any explanation for that?

I have a similar problem for Pakistan 2006-07; I could not find any excel file here but only a suggestion to go to the GPS data. Any chance someone has the codes for the districts. In this case the codes go from 1 to 35.

Many thanks to everyone.
Best,
Luca
