The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program has collected, analyzed, and disseminated accurate and representative data on population, health, HIV, and nutrition through more than 400 surveys in over 90 countries for over 40 years. The project is funded by USAID and currently under a stop work order. Virtually all USAID staff involved have been fired, furloughed or put on admin leave. The contractor, ICF, is also under a stop work order which means all surveys have been stopped and all other activities have been put on hold including trainings, datasets download registrations, and support for researchers needing assistance with analysis of the data. The website is still up and can be accessed here: https://www.dhsprogram.com/ with limited functionality due to the stop work order. It is extremely unfortunate what is going on with the project as the data is considered the gold standard of international public health in developing countries.
