^bNumbers shown in parentheses indicate the number of areas in a given set of administrative boundaries. This is to distinguish between current and historical sets of areas that go by the same name
^cSources that could be analyzed at the current second administrative level (third, in Bangladesh only), as described in Table 1, are considered spatially aligned while all other data sources are considered spatially misaligned
^dChad previously had prefectures which are roughly equivalent to regions. For simplicity, both regions and prefectures are listed as regions in this table. ‘DHS region’ are an alternate set of regions defined for statistical purposes in the 2004 Demographic and Health Survey
