Data sourcesThis database was initially produced for the UNEP/GRID-WRI-NCGIA
Africa Population Database. The 1980 and 1990 estimates produced for this database were used to produce the P95E estimate. Pop data sources:
P60-90 based on published figures for 1961, 1969, 1982 and 1992. Listings for 1969 and 81 did not match 1992 listings well. Unit names were matched and aggregated to the district level using maps and the ward level GIS coverage obtained through ILRI as a reference. Missing values were estimated using average province level growth rates. Even though ward level boundaries were available, data were estimated only at the district level, since matching of population census figures for smaller units would have been difficult, if not impossible without more information from the National Statistical Office. GIS boundaries derived by dissolving the ward boundaries in the data set obtained from the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) to the district level. |
