I think the reason you can't find it is because it isn't legal in any. I can't find it anywhere either.
All I could find is below and these countries use is indoors, or for emergencies of malaria outbreaks outdoors.

The World Wildlife Fund has called for a global ban on DDT but supports South Africa's limited use of the substance for malaria control.

New evidence from India and South Africa, where DDT is used for indoor residual spraying, shows that correct and timely use of indoor residual spraying can reduce malaria transmission by up to 90 percent.
Fourteen countries in sub-Saharan Africa are using indoor residual spraying and 10 of those are using DDT,
