Hi,

 

As either a recent user of AfriPop data or someone who has provided valuable
input to the project, we thought that you may be interested in obtaining our
most recently completed dataset: Somalia.

 

Constructed from a combination of different surveys, together with spatial
information on settlements, internally displaced population camps and land
use, the 2010 estimated population distribution dataset is freely
downloadable through clicking on Somalia here:

Full details on the methodologies used and assessments against existing data
and maps are described in the accompanying paper here:

We are close to completing similar mapping for the remainder of sub-Saharan
Africa, so keep an eye on http://www.afripop.org/ for new dataset downloads
over the coming months, and let me know if you have any questions,

 

Best wishes,
