Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
DHS surveys are household-to-household surveys with teams of interviewers in sampled geographic areas, working over a period of several months. Sometimes the fieldwork all takes place within one calendar year. Sometimes, as with this survey, it straddles two consecutive years. "2010" or "2010-11" is just part of the label for the survey. You definitely do not need to separate the survey into two parts for the two calendar years. If, say, the data came from a birth registration system, and births are reported by calendar year, then you would want to separate the two years, but that would not be appropriate for survey data.
