# Federal Republic of Somalia - Millenium development goals

**Publisher:** World Bank Group · **Source:** [HDX](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-millenium-development-goals-indicators-for-federal-republic-of-somalia) · **License:** `cc-by` · **Updated:** 2025-11-04

## Abstract

Contains data from the World Bank's [data portal](http://data.worldbank.org/). There is also a [consolidated country dataset](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-combined-indicators-for-federal-republic-of-somalia) on HDX.

Each row in this dataset represents country-level aggregates. Data was last updated on HDX on 2025-11-04. Geographic scope: **SOM**.

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

## Variables

**Geographic** — `country_name` (Federal Republic of Somalia, #country+name), `country_iso3` (SOM, #country+code), `year` (range 2000.0–2011.0).

**Outcome / Measurement** — `value` (range 2.4–16.5).

**Identifier / Metadata** — `indicator_name` (Status under enhanced HIPC initiative, #indicator+name, Mosquito net use by children (insecticide-treated net) (% of children under 5): Q1 (lowest)), `indicator_code` (DT.HPC.STTS, #indicator+code, SH.MLR.NETS.Q1.ZS), `esa_source` (HDX), `esa_processed` (2026-04-07).

## Quick Start

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-world-bank-millenium-development-goals-indicators-for-federal-republic-of-somalia")
train = ds["train"].to_pandas()
test = ds["test"].to_pandas()

print(train.shape)
train.head()
```

## Numeric Summary

| Column | Min | Max | Mean | Median |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `year` | 2000.0 | 2011.0 | 2005.5714 | 2006.0 |
| `value` | 2.4 | 16.5 | 4.35 | 3.5 |

## 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`. 2 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 World Bank Group 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/world-bank-millenium-development-goals-indicators-for-federal-republic-of-somalia) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
