# Kenya - Distribution statistics for Sunscreen And Support Products To Persons With Albinism

**Publisher:** Kenya Open Data Initiative (inactive) · **Source:** [HDX](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/kenya-distribution-statistics-for-sunscreen-and-support-products-to-persons-with-albinism) · **License:** `cc-by` · **Updated:** 2024-09-13

## Abstract

This data shows the total number of sunscreen and support products distributed to persons with albinism (PWA's) in various counties.

Each row in this dataset represents geolocated point observations. Temporal coverage is indicated by the `financial_year_ending` column(s). Geographic scope: **KEN**.

*Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).*

## Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. 1 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

## Limitations

- Data originates from Kenya Open Data Initiative (inactive) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/kenya-distribution-statistics-for-sunscreen-and-support-products-to-persons-with-albinism) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
