# Eritrea - Requirements and Funding Data

**Publisher:** OCHA Financial Tracking System (FTS) · **Source:** [HDX](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/eri-requirements-and-funding-data) · **License:** `cc-by-igo` · **Updated:** 2026-04-06

## Abstract

FTS publishes data on humanitarian funding flows as reported by donors and recipient organizations. It presents all humanitarian funding to a country and funding that is specifically reported or that can be specifically mapped against funding requirements stated in humanitarian response plans. The data comes from OCHA's [Financial Tracking Service](https://fts.unocha.org/) and is encoded as utf-8.

Each row in this dataset represents country-level aggregates. Data was last updated on HDX on 2026-04-06. Geographic scope: **ERI**.

*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`. 8 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `id`, `code`, `typeid`, `typename`, `startdate`, `enddate`.... 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 Financial Tracking System (FTS) 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/eri-requirements-and-funding-data) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
