Hello Amira,

Thanks for your post. Several of the more recent Egypt DHS surveys have samples that are designed to be representative at two levels (specifically, the 2000, 2005 and 2008 surveys). However, these do not exactly correspond to the first and second administrative levels (governorates and regions respectively). At the first level of representativeness, the four DHS regions are groupings of governorates. At the second level, the DHS regions correspond to the individual governorates (with the exception of the 5 frontier governorates which are grouped at this level as well.

A good resource for viewing the DHS region boundaries and comparing them across levels and surveys is the Spatial Data Repository http://spatialdata.dhsprogram.com/boundaries.html?country=EG . There, you can also download the boundaries as GIS shapefiles.

If this has not answered your question adequately, please reply.

Josh
