Data sources This database was initially produced for the UNEP/GRID-WRI-NCGIA Africa Population Database. See the GRID-Sioux Falls web site at http://grid2.cr.usgs.gov The 1980 and 1990 estimates produced for this database were used to produce the P95E estimate. Pop data sources: Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial (1981), Recensa Estadistica de Guinea Ecuatorial, Direccion General de Estadistica, Malabo. [1965 data] Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial (1983), Censos Nacionales de Poblacion y de Vivienda de 4 de Julio de 1983, Direccion General de Estadistica, Malabo. Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial (1987), Guinea en Cifras 1987, Direccion General de Estadistica, Malabo. Republica de Guinea Ecuatorial (1990), Boletin Estadistica Anual 1990, Direccion General de Estadistica, Malabo. Only boundaries for the first subnational level were available, although population figures are also available for the 2nd level. Figures were available for 1965, 1983 and 1989 (estimates). These figures do not allow us to pick up the decline in population between 1970 and 1980 from 291k and 217k and the subsequent increase to 312k in 1985. The estimates for 60-90 were therefore based on average annual subnational growth rates and uniformly adjusted to match the UN estimates for those years.
