Important note

This package scaffold is ready to publish, but the district dataset is still a starter dataset. The region list is aligned to the 2022 Tanzania PHC/NBS-era region naming, while district coverage in the included file is only partially filled so you can start coding immediately and then finish data verification before publishing 1.0.0.
