Internally displaced persons are defined according to the 1998 Guiding Principles (http://www.internal-displacement.org/publications/1998/ocha-guiding-principles-on-internal-displacement) as people or groups of people who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of armed conflict, or to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights, or natural or human-made disasters and who have not crossed an international border.
"Internally displaced persons - IDPs" refers to the number of people living in displacement as of the end of each year.
"Internal displacements (New Displacements)" refers to the number of new cases or incidents of displacement recorded, rather than the number of people displaced. This is done because people may have been displaced more than once.
Contains data from IDMC's Global Internal Displacement Database.
This table contains subnational multidimensional poverty data from the data tables published by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), University of Oxford. The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures multidimensional poverty in over 100 developing countries, using internationally comparable datasets and is updated annually. The measure captures the severe deprivations that each person faces at the same time using information from 10 indicators, which are grouped into three equally weighted dimensions: health, education, and living standards. The global MPI methodology is detailed in Alkire, Kanagaratnam & Suppa (2023).
Botswana administrative division with aggregated population. Built from Kontur Population: Global Population Density for 400m H3 Hexagons on top of OpenStreetMap administrative boundaries data. Enriched with HASC codes for regions taken from Wikidata.
Global version of boundaries dataset: Kontur Boundaries: Global administrative division with aggregated population
The dataset consists of settlement extents across Botswana, as well as accompanying settlement type based on the degrees of urbanization, place codes, and confidence level for each settlement extent.
Updates in this version include:
(1) The degree of urbanisation has replaced the previous classifications of built-up areas, small settlement areas, and hamlets
(2) Boundary names have been removed, since the OCHA dataset is not an official set of boundaries and may not be accurate
(3) Building count ranges have been included
(4) Predicted false positives have been included
(5) Population data have been removed until new constrained population numbers are available
(6) Settlement status has been included, as it pertains to Version 01 of the settlement extents

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian network. Our secretariat supports local Red Cross and Red Crescent action in more than 192 countries, bringing together almost 15 million volunteers for the good of humanity.
We launch Emergency Appeals for big and complex disasters affecting lots of people who will need long-term support to recover. We also support Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to respond to lots of small and medium-sized disasters worldwide—through our Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) and in other ways.
There is also a global dataset.

More than 200 million businesses use Facebook globally. The goal of Meta’s quarterly Small Business Surveys is to learn about the unique perspectives, challenges and opportunities of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
The Future of Business (FoB) Survey is conducted biannually in partnership with the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) across nearly 100 countries. The target population consists of SMEs that have an active Facebook Business Page and include both newer and longer-standing businesses, spanning across a variety of sectors. Meta also conducts the Global State of Small Business (GSoSB) Survey bi-annually in partnership with various academic partners across approximately 30 countries. Similarly to the FoB Survey, the target population is active Facebook Page Administrators, but also includes the general population of Facebook users.
Survey questions for all surveys cover a range of topics depending on the survey wave such as business characteristics, challenges, financials and strategy in addition to custom modules related to regulation, gender inequity, access to finance, digital technologies, reduction in revenues, business closures, international trade, inflation, reduction of employees and challenges/needs of the business.
Aggregated country level data for each survey wave is available to the public on HDX and controlled access microdata is available to Data for Good at Meta partners.

This master list of health facilities was developed from a variety of government and non-government sources from 50 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. It uses multiple geocoding methods to provide a comprehensive spatial inventory of 98 745 public health facilities. Each data record represents a health facility and has 8 descriptive variables – Location identifiers including: country, first level administrative division, latitude, longitude and LL source (source of the coordinates). Coordinates are rounded off to four decimal places for uniformity, allowing an accuracy of 5–10 metres in decimal degrees coordinate format.
This geocoded master facility list has been made publicly and freely available through both the figshare repository and through the World Health Organization’s Global Malaria Programme in Microsoft Excel format.

In partnership with Yale, Meta launched a climate change opinion survey that explores public climate change knowledge, attitudes, policy preferences, and behaviors. The 2022 survey includes respondents from nearly 200 countries and territories. We are sharing country level data from this survey, providing policymakers, research institutions, and nonprofits with an international view of public climate change opinion.

These data sets are intended to inform researchers and public health experts about how populations are responding to physical distancing measures. In particular, there are two metrics, Change in Movement and Stay Put, that provide a slightly different perspective on movement trends. Change in Movement looks at how much people are moving around and compares it with a baseline period that predates most social distancing measures, while Stay Put looks at the fraction of the population that appear to stay within a small area during an entire day.

In December 2013 Botswana's Dukwi refugee camp was host to an estimated 3,104 individuals (1,527 households) from 14 countries, mostly Somalia and Namibia. There was an assortment of languages and cultures co-existing in the camp. In December 2013, UNHCR conducted a nutrition survey in the camp with the overall aim to assess the prevalence of malnutrition
and to monitor selected indicators of programme performance. The survey was based on the UNHCR Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) guidelines for refugee populations (v1.3) (see www.sens.unhcr.org) and the Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions (SMART) methodology (v1).
This data is the anonymous version of the data collected for the 2013 survey. See the details on the specific objectives of the survey and survey methods in the report.

This dataset contains the following administrative boundaries: ADM0, ADM1, ADM2.

Settlement extents are polygons representing areas where there is likely a human settlement based on the presence of buildings detected in satellite imagery. Settlement extents are not meant to represent the boundaries of an administrative unit or locality. A single settlement extent may be made up of multiple localities, especially in urban areas. Each settlement extent has an associated population estimate. Provided is information on the common operational boundary that the extent fully resides within along with their associated place codes (PCodes). The data are in geodatabase format and consist of a single-feature class.
