Dear awah,

Here is a response from Senior Sampling Statistician Dr. Rulin Ren:
It is true that we never reported the CI for the FGC in the DHS final report, so there is no estimate of the design effect. But I guess it is an indicator with high intra-cluster correlation because it is culture related. Our rule of thumb is that if you do not know the design effect of specific DHS indicator, take it as 1.5 because this is the average value for DHS indicators. Please note that we use Deft, which is the square root of Deff.

Thank you,
Sarah-DHS
