Following is a response from Senior DHS Staff Member, Tom Pullum:

If I correctly understand your question, your goal is to develop estimates of the outcomes / indicators for regions of each country. ArcGIS is not a good program for this purpose. Stata or SPSS or R are better for developing such estimates (my preference is Stata). But most, if not all, of the estimates you want are available at www.statcompiler.com. In the data files, region is v024 or hv024.

ArcGIS is a mapping package, and at first I thought your goal was to construct maps. You can actually produce maps with Stata, if you have the admin 1 shape files for a country. There are probably other ways to do this without getting into ArcGIS. Hope this helps.
