# RE4R Project Assessment Phase Survey (Households)

**Publisher:** Practical Action (inactive) · **Source:** [HDX](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/re4r-project-assessment-phase-survey-gihembe-households) · **License:** `cc-by` · **Updated:** 2023-05-02

## Abstract

Household surveys for Gihembe, Kigeme and Nyabiheke refugee camps in Rwanda. The surveys contain information on household demographics, energy use for lighting and cooking, access to electricity technologies, respondent needs and priorities, and other energy-related issues.

Each row in this dataset represents country-level aggregates. Data was last updated on HDX on 2023-05-02. Geographic scope: **RWA**.

*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`. 61 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `minigrid_power_source`, `available_power_capacity_kw`, `total_duration_of_outages_per_day`, `kerosene_consumption_litres_per_month`, `kerosene_expenditure_local_currency_per_month`, `ethanol_consumption_litres_per_month`.... 31 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 Practical Action (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.
- The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: `available_storage_capacity_wh`, `monthly_spend_on_primary_electricity_source_local_currency`, `method_of_paying_for_electricity`, `hours_of_electricity_per_day`, `hours_of_electricity_per_day_in_four_hours_after_sunset`, `number_of_unpredictable_interruptions_per_week`, `candles_usage_per_month`, `candles_expenditure_local_currency_per_month`....
- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/re4r-project-assessment-phase-survey-gihembe-households) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
