  Mali Displacement - [IDPs, Returnees] - Baseline Assessment [IOM DTM] | Africa
  (Mali official open data)

Mali Displacement - [IDPs, Returnees] - Baseline Assessment [IOM DTM] | Africa (Mali official open data)

98 rows - 1 Africa country - 2012-2021 - Repackaged by Electric Sheep Africa

TL;DR

This dataset packages one official XLSX resource from Mali as ML-ready Parquet. The source file is the provenance boundary; all usable indicators or tabular columns from the resource stay together in this repo.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mali-mali-displacement-idps-returnees-baseline-assessment-iom-d-f49d0bb1")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Filter to one country

sample_country = df[df["country_iso3"] == "MLI"]

Work with indicators

if "indicator_id" in df.columns:
    print(df["indicator_id"].value_counts().head())
    sample = df.sort_values([c for c in ["indicator_id", "year"] if c in df.columns])
