Hello, I am also looking for a way to link the REG_ID from the Spatial Repository with variables in the Survey data. Has anything changed since this old post? My understanding is that there isn't a unique way to identify provinces in both files, is this correct? What would be the variables in the survey data that would allow constructing the same REG_ID as in the Spatial repository files? Thanks!

EDIT: Just found this file which seems useful:
https://spatialdata.dhsprogram.com/references/subnational_da ta_schema.pdf

However, I don't understand what CHAR_CAT_ID & CHAR_ID are. Any help?

Thanks
