Hello:

I continue to make good progress on approximating level 1 & 2 weights for my datasets. However, I have encountered two main challenges

1. Unable to Generate M: The following datasets did not report the number of households in sampling frame:

-- Burkina Faso 2010
-- Cameroon 2018
-- Congo Democratic Republic 2013
-- Chad 2014
-- Cote d'Ivoire 2011
-- Gabon 2019
-- Kenya 2008
-- Liberia 2013
-- Mali 2012
-- Niger 2012
-- Eswatini/Swaziland 2006
-- Togo 2013

2. Missing A_h & M_h: The following countries did not report number of EA and/or the average size of households needed to calculate M_h and/or A_h. :

-- Congo Democratic Republic 2013
-- Kenya 2008
-- Mali 2012
-- Eswatini/Swaziland 2008

I combed through the reports and unable to find the appropriate values, and therefore unable to generate M, A_h and M_h as required for the approximation.

Are there some other sources for these values, or a different way of generating them. Thanks in advance for your assistance and advice on how to proceed.

cheers, cY
