I am working with the datasets of Cote d'Ivoire 2005. I have also printed out the questionnaires online but I am having difficulty matching the questions with the datasets. It seems that the variable numbers do not follow the questionnaires order and numbering. In addition, I have noticed that the questionnaires are 2008 version.
How do I get a hold of the actual questionnaires that were used for this country in 2005?
Thank you.

You are working with a standard recode data as the original raw data files are not distributed. As a result, the numbers in the questionnaires will not match the variable names in the datasets. In order for the datasets to be as similar as possible across all surveys, MEASURE DHS generates "standard recode" datasets, which contain the same data as the raw datasets, but in a standardized format. In the "standard recode" datasets, the variable names and definitions are, wherever possible, consistent across all surveys. However, each survey is different, with questions that diverge from the standard. These questions are included in the standard recode datasets, either as computed standard variables or variables that are specific to that survey. The process of recoding involves consistency checking and comparisons between the standard recode and raw datasets. Please reference the questionnaires and the recode manual. The questionnaires for the 2005 survey are in the appendix of the Final Country Report at:
