| 16 | +SAFI (Studying African Farmer-Led Irrigation) is a currently running |
| 17 | +project which is looking at farming and irrigation methods. This is |
| 18 | +survey data relating to households and agriculture in Tanzania and |
| 19 | +Mozambique. The survey data was collected through interviews |
| 20 | +conducted between November 2016 and June 2017 using forms downloaded |
| 21 | +to Android Smartphones. The survey forms were created using the ODK |
| 22 | +(Open Data Kit) software via an Excel spreadsheet. The collected data |
| 23 | +is then sent back to a central server. The server can be used to |
| 24 | +download the collected data in both JSON and CSV formats. This is a |
| 25 | +teaching version of the collected data that we will be using. It is not the full dataset. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +The survey covered such things as; household features (e.g. |
| 28 | +construction materials used, number of household members), |
| 29 | +agricultural practices (e.g. water usage), assets (e.g. number and |
| 30 | +types of livestock) and details about the household members. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +The basic teaching dataset used in these lessons is a JSON |
| 33 | +formatted dataset which is used directly in the Python lesson. For |
| 34 | +the other lessons a subset of the JSON dataset is used and has been |
| 35 | +converted into CSV format. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +The individual fields and the survey questions asked to produce the |
| 38 | +data in the CSV formatted version are given below. We will only |
| 39 | +reference a subset of the fields in the lessons. |
