Unfortunately the sample was designed to only provide representative indicators for the combination of those two districts, so there is no way to split Likoma from Nkhata Bay using the representative indicators. If it is feasible to drop Nkhata Bay as well, you could drop the entire combination, but not just Likoma itself. GPS data are available for the Malawi 2010 DHS and the 2013-14 SPA surveys, which may allow you to do analysis on a scale different than the representative regions used for the survey. Guidance on how to use the GPS data within your analysis is available in our SAR8 report ( http://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-SAR8-Spatial- Analysis-Reports.cfm).
