**We are interested in hearing from people who have used these datasets to improve our products and better understand the impact of this data. [Please consider taking this two-minute survey](https://forms.gle/EQFAbkkPVj5JtkSu7).** AI for Good at Meta's program includes tools built from de-identified data on our platform, as well as tools that we develop using satellite imagery and other publicly available sources. When data is shared responsibly with the communities that need it, it can improve wellbeing and save lives.

Copernicus is the Earth observation component of the European Union’s Space programme. It offers information services that draw from satellite Earth Observation and in-situ (non-space) data. It sets out to fulfil the growing need amongst European policy- makers, businesses, scientists and individuals to access timely accurate information services. By delivering vast amounts of Earth observation data through a unified system, this innovative programme starts a new chapter in the way we manage the environment, understand and mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure civil security for a safer and more sustainable future.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger.

The Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is an open data sharing platform managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The HDX organization is managed by the HDX data team and is used to share data on behalf of a number of partners

Contains downloadable CSVs of data obtained from the HDX Humanitarian API (HDX HAPI) for users who prefer not to use APIs. HDX HAPI Data is standardized for seamless interoperability from multiple sources. The data facilitates automated workflows and visualizations to support humanitarian decision making. For more information, please see the HDX HAPI landing page (https://data.humdata.org/hapi) and documentation (https://hdx-hapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

HeiGIT (Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology) performs applied research relating to geographic information. Results and data are made freely available for the benefit of the environment and society through stakeholders such as researchers and aid organizations & associations. The core foci of HeiGIT range from supporting humanitarian missions with customized geodata, to developing intelligent routing solutions for disasters or heatwaves. HeiGIT also implements innovative methods from the fields of spatial data processing and machine learning to analyze, enrich, and visualize geodata (e.g. OpenStreetMap data), as well as offering practical data analysis for climate protection initiatives. HeiGIT gGmbH was founded in 2019 as an affiliated institute of Heidelberg University, with core funding from the Klaus Tschira Foundation.

Informing humanitarians worldwide - ReliefWeb is the leading humanitarian information source on global crises and disasters. It is a specialized digital service of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Since 1984, The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program has provided technical assistance to more than 300 surveys in over 90 countries, advancing global understanding of health and population trends in developing countries. The DHS Program has earned a worldwide reputation for collecting and disseminating accurate, nationally representative data on fertility, family planning, maternal and child health, gender, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and nutrition. The DHS Program is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Contributions from other donors, as well as funds from participating countries, also support surveys. The project is implemented by ICF International.

Researches and publishes the annual Human Development Report which inlcudes the Human Development Index (HDI) which is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions.

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established on December 14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. The agency is mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide.

UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfill their potential.

Accessing disaster information can be a time consuming and laborious task. Not only is data scattered but frequently identification of the disaster can be confusing in countries with many disaster events. To address both of these issues, Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed a globally common Unique ID code for disasters. This idea was shared and promoted by OCHA/ReliefWeb, OCHA/FSCC, UNDRR, UNDP, WMO, IFRC, OFDA-USAID, FAO, La Red, the World Bank, the European Commission and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), and was jointly launched as a new initiative "GLobal IDEntifier Number (GLIDE)". Since the beginning of 2004, GLobal IDEntifier numbers (GLIDE) are produced by this website (GLIDEnumber.net) for all new disaster events reported by partner institutions and those discovered by ADRC. The components of a GLIDE number consist of two letters to identify the disaster type (e.g. EQ - earthquake); the year of the disaster; a six-digit, sequential disaster number; and the three-letter ISO code for country of occurrence. So, for example, the GLIDE number for West-India Earthquake in India is: EQ-2001-000033-IND.
