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:

Data Products Summary#
Data Products are produced using the Foundational 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:

Foundational Datasets Used (ID#) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
A |
Changes in Observed Nighttime Lights |
Yearly and monthly aggregated remote sensing data used to derive changes in observed nighttime lights |
Results reflect data from NASA’s nighttime lights data. Gas Flaring is accounted for, however, the lights data also depends on cloud cover |
1,4,5 |
B |
Change in Agricultural Production |
Monthly change in Normalized Difference in Vegetation Index as a proxy to measure change in agricultural production |
The statistics are based on global datasets to flag warnings. |
2 |
C |
Change in Conflict |
ACLED dataset is used to observe changes in conflict by latitude and longitude over time |
This is a user generated dataset combined with media reported incidents |
