International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) Policy Marker Dataset

A multi-purpose dataset including all activity title and description text published to IATI with metadata for policy markers. For more information on IATI policy markers, see the element page on the IATI Standard Website. IATI is a living data source, and this dataset was last updated on 10 July, 2024. For the code to generate an updated version of this dataset, please see my Github repository here.

For any given policy marker in this dataset, there are two columns. One indicates whether the publisher utilizes the policy marker at all (e.g. gender_equality), and the other represents the marker significance (e.g. gender_equality_sig). The language column is pipe separated. It should be mostly ISO 639, but it's a free-text field so there may be other values.

A suggested use would be:

from datasets import load_dataset

iati = load_dataset("devinitorg/iati-policy-markers", split="train")
gender_relevant_iati = iati.filter(lambda example: example["gender_equality"]).rename_column("gender_equality_sig", "label")
cols_to_remove = gender_relevant_iati.column_names
cols_to_remove.remove("text")
cols_to_remove.remove("label")
gender_relevant_iati = gender_relevant_iati.remove_columns(cols_to_remove)
dataset = gender_relevant_iati.class_encode_column("label").train_test_split(
    test_size=0.2,
    stratify_by_column="label",
    shuffle=True,
)
