Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

The SPA files include a weight variable. For example, the facilities file has "facwt". You would use that weight for any outcome variable. For example, you could cross-tabulate region and "has refrigerator" , using iweight=facwt/1000000.
