Hi,

I am trying to create a municipality level panel of the DHS for the years 2005, 2010, and 2015. I wanted to match the municipality level DHS data with municipality level DANE census data using the municipality codes. I created unique municipality codes by concatenating the sdepto and smunip as recommended on a different thread. However, very few of these unique municipality codes actually match with the DANE codes (only ~30). I wanted some help understanding why the codes are so different and if this is not the right way to match, what is an alternative way I can merge the DHS and DANE data. Thanks!
