from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-cameroon-fao-eve-global-flood-monitoring-system-a4db470f")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Filter to one country

sample_country = df[df["country_iso3"] == "CMR"]

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])
