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

The strata for surveys up to about 2020 are specified in the file "Survey_strata.do" (see attached). For more recent surveys the strata are given by v022 or v023 (they are the same). In most surveys, but not all, the strata are v024 x v025.

There have been other posts on this topic. This file has been posted several times, once very recently. Users are asked to search the forum before asking a question. There's always a good chance that your question has come up before.
