TL;DR

This dataset contains 5,404 rows from Rwanda Data Sharing Platform - NISR, covering EICV7 (VUP): Credits. It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples.

What This Dataset Measures

Official statistics datasets help analysts inspect public data as published by governments, national statistical systems, and regional data portals.

Source-provided context: Summary: This microdata table contains information on credits collected in the seventh Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey, known as EICV7 (Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des ménages). A main cross-sectional sample survey, a panel survey and a VUP (Vision Umurenge Programme) sample survey were conducted simultaneously; this microdata table relates to the VUP sample survey. Geographic Coverage: National coverage (Rwanda), including rural and urban households and allowing province- and district-level estimation of key indicators. Time Period: The EICV7 data collection covered a 12 month period (October 2023 to October 2024). In order to represent the seasonality in the income and consumption data, the fieldwork was divided into nine nationally representative cycles. Frequency: The EICV is conducted every three years; prior to EICV4, the survey was conducted every five years, with the first survey (EICV1) conducted in 2000/01.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-rwanda-eicv7-vup-credits-15a6131f")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "RWA"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• No canonical year/date column was detected in the packaged table; use source metadata and domain context for temporal interpretation.
• Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.
