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

With the approach you describe, you cannot distinguish between the possible effects of the policy and other influences. However, if you can localize the intervention geographically, you can then compare trends in intervention areas and other (control) areas. Here is a link to a report that did this sort of thing in Uganda: https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/WP142/WP142.pdf to other examples. Hope you can apply this strategy.
