Hi Timo,

1) The datasets with points available are the surveys with some kind of geolocation. There are some surveys within the past few years that did not collect GPS data, so it is hard to promise that all surveys from some point forward have points. There were some surveys in the late 80s through the 90s that were geolocated as a part of the West Africa Spatial Analysis Prototype (WASAP). Most of the points from WASAP were located using gazetteers and other materials.

2) I would check on this page (https://dhsprogram.com/data/File-Types-and-Names.cfm), but broadly, yes those should be for the same survey.

best,

--Tom
