Datasets and Data Products Summary

Datasets

Datasets refer to all datasets used in the analytics prepared for a project. The Datasets table includes a description of the data and their update frequency, as well as access links and contact information for questions about use and access. Users should not require any datasets not included in this table to complete the analytical work for the Data Good.

Following is list of all Datasets used in this Data Good:

Note

Project Sharepoint links are only accessible to the project team. For permissions to access these data, please write to the contact provided. The Development Data Hub is the World Bank’s central data catalogue and includes meta-data and license information.

Where feasible, all datasets that can be obtained through the Development Data Hub have been placed in a special collection: forthcoming

All the datasets and data product images are placed in a SharePoint folder and access is given to the teams.

Data Products Summary

Data Products are produced using the Datasets and can be further used to generate indicators and insights. All Data Products include documentation, references to original data sources (and/or information on how to access them), and a description of their limitations.

Following is a summary of Data Products used in this Data Good:

ID	Name	Description	Limitations	Datasets Used (ID#)
A	Observed changes in NightLight Data	Weekly aggregated trends in nighttime luminosity	Changes in nighttime lights could be driven by multiple factors—such as rescue efforts generating lights, to damages and people leaving high-hit areas causing a reduction in nighttime lights	1,2
B	Observed Impact of Conflict Events on PoIs	Daily activity of conflict events overlaid with Points of Interest	The Points of Interest are obtained from OSM, which is crowdsourced and does not have a fixed refresh schedule.	1,3,5
C	Damage Assessment	Assessment of damage to buildings calculated from satellite imagery
