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: 1. Direction General du Plan, Service des Statistique Demographiques (1966), Recensement General de la Population et des Logements 3 Mai 1966, Ministere du Plan, Tunis 2. Institut National de la Statistique (1975), Recensement General de la Population et des Logements 8 Mai 1975, Ministere du Plan, Tunis. 3. Institut National de la Statistique (1984), recensement General de la Population et de l'Habitat, Ministere du Plan, Tunis. P60-90 based on inter-censal growth rates 66-75 and 75- 84. Some governates split between the 66 and 75 and between the 75 and 84 census. For the resulting governates, constant growth rates were assumed - i.e., the population in the previous census was split in proportion to the population for the new governates in the later census. NAME1 is the region number; NAME2 is the governate.
