Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

In general, and in many specific countries, the codes for some variables have evolved. There are unavoidable discontinuities in trends when this happens. I suggest that you simply present the trend from 2000 to 2005 with the categories you have for those years, and the trend from 2011 to 2016 with the categories you have for those years. There will be a break between 2005 and 2011 and you just do what you can to bridge those two surveys. In the text and/or in a footnote you would say why there is a discontinuity. Other users may have other suggestions.
