Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The data files include variables such as sdist, sdistrict, shdist, shdistrict, that include codes for districts. Cases with the same code are in the same district, and you can calculate means, proportions, etc. by districts. Other forum posts include Stata code showing how to do this. The GPS files do not include the boundaries.
