A data science project that uses Rwanda PHC5 2022 Census indicators to develop a district-level Poverty Risk Prediction Model based on housing quality, access to services, education, digital inclusion, health insurance, and agricultural characteristics.
# Rwanda Poverty Risk Prediction Model
This project uses Rwanda's Fifth Population and Housing Census (PHC5, 2022) to build a district-level Poverty Risk Prediction Model.
The model analyzes indicators related to:
- Housing quality
- Access to water and sanitation
- Electricity access
- Asset ownership
- Education
- Internet access
- Mobile phone ownership
- Health insurance
- Agricultural dependence
The objective is to identify districts that are potentially at higher risk of poverty and provide evidence-based insights for policy makers, NGOs, researchers, and development partners.
