-# Namibia - Data on forcibly displaced populations and stateless persons
-**Publisher:** UNHCR - The UN Refugee Agency · **Source:** [HDX](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/unhcr-population-data-for-nam) · **License:** `cc-by-igo` · **Updated:** 2026-02-25

-## Abstract
-Data collated by UNHCR, containing information about forcibly displaced populations and stateless persons, spanning across more than 70 years of statistical activities.  The data includes the countries / territories of asylum and origin.  Specific resources are available for end-year population totals, demographics, asylum applications, decisions, and solutions availed by refugees and IDPs (resettlement, naturalisation or returns).
-Each row in this dataset represents first-level administrative unit observations. Data was last updated on HDX on 2026-02-25. Geographic scope: **NAM**.
-*Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).*

-## 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 UNHCR - The UN Refugee Agency 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](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/unhcr-population-data-for-nam) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.

+## How To Read This Dataset
+- Start from the repository files and the dataset viewer when available.
+- Treat the README context as a fast orientation layer; confirm variable definitions and units in the data files before modeling.
+- Use explicit country columns when present. When geography is only implied by the title or source metadata, document that assumption in downstream analysis.
+- Preserve missing values until you have a defensible imputation rule.
+## Usage
 ```python
 from datasets import load_dataset
+ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-unhcr-population-data-for-nam")
+print(ds)
+split_name = next(iter(ds))
+table = ds[split_name]
+print(table.features)
+print(table[:3])
 ```
+### Convert To Pandas When Tabular
+```python
+from datasets import Dataset
+first_split = ds[next(iter(ds))]
+if isinstance(first_split, Dataset):
+    df = first_split.to_pandas()
+    print(df.head())
+```
+## Data Quality Notes
+- This card was standardized from the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face metadata inventory.
+- Exact schema, row counts, and source files should be inspected in the repository data files.
+- Metadata gaps from the inventory: upstream_publisher.
+- Do not infer policy meaning from labels alone; confirm definitions, units, and methods in the source material.

+## Suggested Analyses
+- Inspect schema and missingness before modeling.
+- Profile variables by geography, time, and subgroup columns where present.
+- Join with other Electric Sheep Africa datasets using explicit country, year, and indicator fields when available.
+- Build reproducible notebooks that cite both the original source context and the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face repo.
