Following is a response from DHS Stata Specialist, Shireen Assaf:

In SPAs the PSU is the facility itself so you would use facil or fcode in the Egypt SPA.
Stratification is usually by facility type and region, in Egypt the region is represented by the governorates so you would need to create a strata variable as follows :
egen strata=group(ftype govern )

Then for facility data you would use the strata variable you created above in the svyset as follows:
svyset fcode [pw=facwt], strata(strata)

For client level data ( you need to use the client weight, clwt) and use cgoven and cftype to create the strata variable.

If you receive error and error stating "Note: Missing standard errors because of stratum with single sampling unit."

Then use:
svyset fcode [pw=facwt], strata(strata) singleunit(centered)

Hope this helps.
