Data-Driven Development Framework
π Project Overview
This project establishes a standardized, scalable framework for Economic and Development Data Science. Built upon international best practices for transparency and reproducibility, it integrates financial analysis with community impact metrics.
As a professional at the intersection of Finance and Data Science, I developed this repository to demonstrate how rigorous version control, structured folder hierarchies, and collaborative documentation can drive sustainable development initiatives.
π Key Features
Reproducible Analysis: Automated environment setup using Mamba/Conda.
Bilingual Documentation: Framework support for multicultural project environments.
Professional Standards: Integrated Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.
Data Governance: Strict protocols for handling sensitive financial and geographical datasets.
π Repository Structure
Following the standardized Data Lab philosophy, the project is organized as follows:
Plaintext
βββ data/ # Local only: raw-data and derived-datasets
βββ docs/ # Jupyter Book documentation and methodology
βββ notebooks/ # Thematic analysis (Agriculture, Finance, etc.)
βββ src/ # Production-ready Python processing scripts
βββ .env.example # Template for API keys and credentials
βββ environment.yml # Conda environment configuration
