Future Displacement Forecasts | Africa (Danish Refugee Council)

240 rows - 1 Africa country/area - 2010-2023 - 1 indicator - Engineered by Electric Sheep Africa

TL;DR

This dataset contains 240 rows from Danish Refugee Council, covering Future Displacement Forecasts. It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples.

What This Dataset Measures

Official statistics datasets help analysts inspect public data as published by governments, national statistical systems, and regional data portals.

Source-provided context: The margin of error on all historical forecasts compared to the actual displacement. Calculated by comparing the forecasted displacement to the actual displacement

How To Read This Dataset

• One row means: one indicator observation for one geography, time period, and optional source dimensions.
• Primary geography column: country_iso3.
• Best time column: year.
• Time coverage basis: year.
• Recommended join keys: country_iso3, year, indicator_id.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-somalia-future-displacement-forecasts-cf83f69c")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "SOM"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• Canonical time field: year.
• Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.

Transformations Applied

• Converted the source table to Parquet for efficient analytics and ML workflows.
• Added or preserved source provenance columns where available.
• Standardized README metadata, dataset loading configuration, schema documentation, and citation format.
• Preserved source-reported values without analytical imputation.

Suggested Analyses

• Profile the distribution of values
• Compare categories or geographies
• Join with complementary public datasets
• Build time-series views and period-over-period comparisons
• Pivot to geography x period or indicator x period matrices
• Check missingness before modeling
• Use country_iso3 as the safest geography join key when present
