Hello,

I am using the 2014 KDHS for my dissertation. I am interested in the variable hv206 which shows access to electricity.

However, no information has been provided from the recode on whether hv206 refers to electricity from a generator or mains access or other source.


I would kindly like to know whether access to electricity in the KDHS refers to access to the mains or it is a generalization of all possible sources of electricity.


Thank you.
Khanjila

The electricity question in the 2015 KDHS is simply "Does your household have electricity?" No information is collected about the source.
