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. 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 HERA - Humanitarian Emergency Response Africa 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 for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
