Title:

Gridded population estimates for using UN COD-PS estimates 2022, version 2.0 [Sudan] {2023-2024}

Description:

These data were produced by [ WorldPop](https://www.worldpop.org/) at the University of Southampton. These data include gridded estimates of population at approximately 100m and 1km for 2022, along with estimates of the number of people belonging to individual age-sex groups. These results were produced using subnational population estimates for Sudan in 2022 provided in the Common Operational Dataset on Population Statistics ([COD-PS](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ps-sdn)) and built-up surfaces/volumes covariates extracted from [GHSL datasets](https://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/download.php); GHS-BUILT-Surface epoch 2020 layer , combined with [Digitize Africa building footprints](http://digitizeafrica.ai/), were used to delineate settled areas. The [constrained and unconstrained](https://www.worldpop.org/methods/top_down_constrained_vs_unconstrained/) [top-down disaggregation method](https://www.worldpop.org/methods/populations/) was used to produce the datasets, i.e. population was only estimated within areas classified as containing built settlement. The modelling work and geospatial data processing was led by Bondarenko M. and Leasure D.R.. Oversight was provided by Tatem A.J.
