Dear Yawo,
This kind of pooling is easier if you use IPUMS DHS. The various surveys will be appended in the data file you download, and all of the variables will be harmonized.
IPUMS DHS also includes unique ids for surveys (country, year, country-year), and unique strata and cluster variables created for comparative analyses. It also includes harmonized geographic regions for countries over time.
As of this writing, IPUMS DHS includes 156 standard DHS surveys--more are being added all the time.
