Description

Definition
GEO_KE2008 (V101_KE2008) indicates the region of Kenya where the respondent was interviewed. DHS regions in the 2008 Kenya survey are equivalent to provinces.

Other sample years have their own sample-specific geography variables. There is also an integrated variable, GEO_KE1989_2014, that provides spatially consistent units over time.

A GIS map for GEO_KE2008 (in shapefile format) can be downloaded from the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository [URL omitted from DDI.] Boundaries page.
