Description

Definition
GEO_MW1992 (V101_MW1992) indicates the region of Malawi where the respondent was interviewed. DHS units in the 1992 Malawi survey are equivalent to regions.

Other sample years have their own sample-specific geography variables. There is also an integrated variable, GEO_MW1992_2016, that provides spatially consistent units over time.

A GIS map for GEO_ MW1992 (in shapefile format) can be downloaded from the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository [URL omitted from DDI.] Boundaries page.
