Following is another response from DHS Senior Analysis & Research Manager, Shireen Assaf:

I checked once more and the code matches the final report. I use the PEPR6IFL.dta file and the code provided produces the correct estimate. Please see the screen shot of the result. I think perhaps you are not applying weights. To apply the weights use the following command. The wt is the weight variable that was generated in the code provided.
