Hello everyone,
I would like to aggregate Data on the Governorate level of Egypt.
In the final report it says that there are 27 governorates, however I can't find the variable that indicates in which governorate the respondent lives. I searched all the codebooks but only found the variable about regions (which is not the same, there are only 4 regions), and the variable about whether the respondent lives in a rural oder urban area.
However I would like to find the variable which says in which of the 27 governorates the respondent resides.
I would be veery grateful for any help!!
Kind regards,
Marlene

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
I checked this with the PR files. In the 2005 data (EG51), shgovern has codes 1-35, but only 26 of those numbers are used. In the 2014 data (EG61), shgov has codes 1-33, but only 25 of them are used.
The governorates are numbered within regions (hv024). If you enter "tab shgovern hv024, nolabel" in the 2005 survey, and something similar in the 2014 survey, you will see the logic of the numbering system.
