South Sudan Subnational Displacement Forecasts | Africa (Danish Refugee Council)

1,868 rows - 1 Africa country/area - 2026 - 4 indicators - Engineered by Electric Sheep Africa

TL;DR

This dataset contains 1,868 rows from Danish Refugee Council, covering South Sudan Subnational Displacement Forecasts. It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples.

What This Dataset Measures

Official statistics datasets help analysts inspect public data as published by governments, national statistical systems, and regional data portals.

Source-provided context: Displacement forecasts for South Sudan at admin 2 level for the coming three month period based on the AHEAD model. The files contain three types of values: 'observed' values are drawn from official sources on the numbers of displaced in each area. 'estimated' values are model estimates of how displacement has evolved up until now, based on known values of conflict, food security, etc. 'forecasted' values are model estimates of the next three months from the point of now.

How To Read This Dataset

• One row means: one indicator observation for one geography, time period, and optional source dimensions.
• Primary geography column: country_iso3.
• Best time column: year.
• Time coverage basis: year.
• Recommended join keys: country_iso3, year, indicator_id.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-south-sudan-south-sudan-subnational-displacement-forecasts-91bf5f10")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "SSD"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• Canonical time field: year.
• Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.

Transformations Applied

• Converted the source table to Parquet for efficient analytics and ML workflows.
• Added or preserved source provenance columns where available.
• Standardized README metadata, dataset loading configuration, schema documentation, and citation format.
• Preserved source-reported values without analytical imputation.

Suggested Analyses

• Profile the distribution of values
• Compare categories or geographies
• Join with complementary public datasets
• Build time-series views and period-over-period comparisons
• Pivot to geography x period or indicator x period matrices
• Check missingness before modeling
• Use country_iso3 as the safest geography join key when present
