 ## Abstract
 
-Contains data from the [DHS data portal](https://api.dhsprogram.com/). There is also a dataset containing [Zambia - Subnational Demographic and Health Data](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/dhs-subnational-data-for-zambia) on HDX.
+This dataset provides comprehensive **Risk Assessment Indicators** for **Zambia**, aggregated at **admin level 2** and 
+can in particular be used to perform a structured risk assessment for **flood** hazards.
+It includes demographic, environmental, infrastructure, accessibility, and hazard-related data to support disaster risk and resilience analysis.
 
-The DHS Program Application Programming Interface (API) provides software developers access to aggregated indicator data from The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program. The API can be used to create various applications to help analyze, visualize, explore and disseminate data on population, health, HIV, and nutrition from more than 90 countries.
+All layers are derived from [HeiGIT’s GAIA Pipeline](https://giscience.github.io/gis-training-resource-center/content/GIS_AA/en_gaia_indicators_processing.html), integrating open data sources such as [WorldPop](https://www.worldpop.org/), 
+[OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/), and [Google Earth Engine](https://earthengine.google.com/) based on 
+[HDX COD-AB](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/?q=cod-ab) boundaries.
 
-Each row in this dataset represents country-level aggregates. Data was last updated on HDX on 2026-04-20. Geographic scope: **ZMB**.

+
+### **Indicator Descriptions**
+
+#### **Access to Services (`ZMB_ADM2_access`)**
+Represents the share of the population with access to key facilities within defined distances or travel times.
+
+- **ADM2_PCODE** – Administrative division code (ADM2)
+- **access_pop_education_5km / 10km / 20km** – Population within 5, 10, and 20 km of educational facilities
+- **access_pop_hospitals_30min / 1h / 2h** – Population within 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours of a hospital
+- **access_pop_primary_healthcare_30min / 1h / 2h** – Population within 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours of a primary health care facility
+
+Data Source: [openrouteservice (ORS)](https://openrouteservice.org/)
+
+---
+
+#### **Facilities (`ZMB_ADM2_facilities`)**
+Counts of essential service facilities within each district.
+
+- **ADM2_PCODE** – Administrative division code (ADM2)
+- **education_count** – Number of educational facilities
+- **hospitals_count** – Number of hospitals
+- **primary_healthcare_count** – Number of primary health care facilities
+
+Data Source: [OpenStreetMap (OSM)](https://www.openstreetmap.org)
+
+---
+
+#### **Coping Capacity (`ZMB_ADM2_coping`)**
+Combines **Access to Services** and **Facilities** data to represent a district’s coping capacity.
+
+---
+
+#### **Demographics (`ZMB_ADM2_demographics`)**
+Shows the population composition by age and gender.
+
+- **ADM2_PCODE** – Administrative division code (ADM2)
+- **female_pop** – Total female population

+
+Data Source: [Worldpop](https://www.worldpop.org/)
+
+---
+
+#### **Rural Population (`ZMB_ADM2_rural_population`)**
+Same demographic breakdown as above, but limited to rural populations. Rural areas are those outside urban extents,
+typically characterized by lower population density, agricultural or natural land use, and limited infrastructure compared to urban centers.
+
+- **ADM2_PCODE** – Administrative division code (ADM2)
+- **female_pop_rural**, **children_u5_rural**, **female_u5_rural**, **elderly_rural**, **pop_u15_rural**, **female_u15_rural** – Rural demographic counts

 ## 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) with >80% missing values were removed: `regionid`, `levelrank`. 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 The DHS Program and has not been independently validated by ESA.
+- Data originates from HeiGIT (Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
 - Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
-- The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: `byvariablelabel`, `denominatorweighted`, `denominatorunweighted`, `cilow`, `cihigh`.
-- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/dhs-data-for-zambia) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
