Following is a response from Senior Data processing Specialist, Fidele Mutima:

Type of toilet facility: label 97=not a dejure resident

"Type of toilet facility" is actually a household variable; in household data, that variable is HV205. Some of the individual variables come from the household; one of those variables is "Type of toilet facility". In the individual data file, that variable is V116 mentioned in the forum below. For each member of a household who is eligible for individual interviews, we set V116 = HV205. However, a non resident member in eligible range of ages who spent the night before the interview in the household is also eligible for interview; this is a defacto member. Since we don't ask individuals the question about "Type of toilet facility", we set it up to not applicable for non resident members (V116 = 97) and label it "Not a dejure resident". Actually, the frequency for V116 = 97 is 1144, not 590.

Improved, not shared facility: Is when HV225 = 0 (toilet not shared with other household) and HV205 = 11 (flush/pour to piped sewer system), 12 (flush/pour to septic tank), 13 (flush/pour to a pit latrine), 21 (Ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine), 22 (pit latrine with a slab), 41 (composting toilet).

Improved shared facility: Is when HV225 = 1 (toilet shared with other household) and HV205 is equals to 11 (flush/pour to piped sewer system), 12 (flush/pour to septic tank), 13 (flush/pour to a pit latrine), 21 (Ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine), 22 (pit latrine with a slab), 41 (composting toilet).

Non-improved facility: Is when HV205 = 14 (flush/pour somewhere else), 15 (flush/pour don't know where), 23 (pit latrine without slab /open pit), 31 (no facility/bush/field), 42 (bucket toilet), 43 (hanging toilet), 96 (other).
