What is and is not in this version | Five ideas worth knowing | 1. Everything carries its provenance | 2. Citations come from the data, not from you | 3. Access conditions are data, not decoration | 4. Failure is explicit | 5. Everything is a tibble that speaks tidyverse | A first session | Configuration | Caching | Where to next

knbsdata: Discover, Retrieve and Cite Official Kenyan Statistics
An R client and standardisation layer for official data and statistical products published by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). Provides a consistent interface for discovering surveys, publications, aggregate indicators and geographic reference data, standardises them into documented schemas, preserves provenance metadata such as release dates and checksums, and generates reproducible citations. This is an independent open-source project and is not an official KNBS product.
