It does not include protracted IDPs (people displaced due to previous droughts). Each row in this dataset represents subnational administrative unit observations. Data was last updated on HDX on 2025-10-24. Geographic scope: **ETH**. *Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).* --- ## Dataset Characteristics | | | |---|---| | **Domain** | Natural hazards and disaster risk | | **Unit of observation** | Subnational administrative unit observations | | **Rows (total)** | 216 | | **Columns** | 9 (1 numeric, 8 categorical, 0 datetime) | | **Train split** | 172 rows | | **Test split** | 43 rows | | **Geographic scope** | ETH | | **Publisher** | OCHA Ethiopia | | **HDX last updated** | 2025-10-24 | --- ## Variables **Geographic** — `region` (Somali, Oromia, Afar), `region_p_code` (ET05, ET04, ET02), `zone` (Nogob, Shabelle, Doolo), `zone_p_code` (ET0510, ET0506, ET0507), `woreda` (Dugda Dawa, Adadle, Garbo) and 1 others. **Identifier / Metadata** — `idp_estimates` (range 180.0–41868.0), `esa_source` (HDX), `esa_processed` (2026-04-10). --- ## Quick Start ```python from datasets import load_dataset ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-ethiopia-drought-induced-displacement") train = ds["train"].to_pandas() test = ds["test"].to_pandas() print(train.shape) train.head() ``` --- ## Schema | Column | Type | Null % | Range / Sample Values | |---|---|---|---| | `region` | object | 0.5% | Somali, Oromia, Afar | | `region_p_code` | object | 0.5% | ET05, ET04, ET02 | | `zone` | object | 0.5% | Nogob, Shabelle, Doolo | | `zone_p_code` | object | 0.5% | ET0510, ET0506, ET0507 | | `woreda` | object | 0.9% | Dugda Dawa, Adadle, Garbo | | `woreda_p_code` | object | 0.5% | ET041515, ET050602, ET051003 | | `idp_estimates` | float64 | 0.5% | 180.0 – 41868.0 (mean 2401.2512) | | `esa_source` | object | 0.0% | HDX | | `esa_processed` | object | 0.0% | 2026-04-10 | --- ## Numeric Summary | Column | Min | Max | Mean | Median | |---|---|---|---|---| | `idp_estimates` | 180.0 | 41868.0 | 2401.2512 | 1152.0 | --- ## 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 OCHA Ethiopia 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/ethiopia-drought-induced-displacement) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats. --- ## Citation ```bibtex @dataset{hdx_africa_ethiopia_drought_induced_displacement, title = {Ethiopia - Drought Induced Displacement Estimates}, author = {OCHA Ethiopia}, year = {2025}, url = {https://data.humdata.org/dataset/ethiopia-drought-induced-displacement}, note = {Repackaged for machine learning by Electric Sheep Africa (https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica)} } ``` --- *[Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica) — Africa's ML dataset infrastructure.
