Abstract

Projects proposed, in progress, or completed as part of the annual Central African Republic Humanitarian Response Plans (HRPs) or other Humanitarian Programme Cycle plans. The original data is available on https://hpc.tools

Important: some projects in Central African Republic might be missing, and others might not apply specifically to Central African Republic. See Caveats under the Additional information tab.

Each row in this dataset represents time-series observations. Temporal coverage is indicated by the startdate, enddate column(s). Geographic scope: CAF.

Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by Electric Sheep Africa.

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. 1 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: partners. 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 OCHA Humanitarian Programme Cycle Tools (HPC Tools) 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.
