As much as I enjoy crunching data and coding, spending my day in front of my R session can be frustrating sometimes, especially since I love to use my hands on crafts.

Last week I submitted my first article as part of my PhD. This paper was written in R markdown and is fully reproducible. It means that a single document contains all the manuscript but also all the code for the analysis and figure generation.

In this post, I present a dataset that I created, containing the harmonized district names and regions of 254 demographic and health surveys (DHS). I explain why I created it, how I did it and how to use the dataset.
