Description

Definition
GEO_ZM1996 (V101_ZM1996) indicates the region of Zambia where the respondent was interviewed. DHS regions in the 1996 Zambia survey are equivalent to provinces.

Other sample years have their own sample-specific geography variables. There is also an integrated variable, GEO_ZM1992_2013, that provides spatially consistent units over time.

A GIS map for GEO_ZM1996 (in shapefile format) can be downloaded from the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository [URL omitted from DDI.] Boundaries page.
