- Title
- Gridded Disaggregated Population Estimates for Kenya (version 1.0)
- Description
- These data were produced by the [ WorldPop](https://www.worldpop.org/) Research Group at the University of Southampton. This work was part of the GRID3 project with funding from the United Nations Children's Fund ([ UNICEF ](https://www.unicef.org/)) - Population Modelling for use in Routine Health Planning and Monitoring project (contract no. 43335861). Projects partners included the Kenya Unicef Regional and Country Offices, WorldPop research group at the University of Southampton and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network [ CIESIN](http://www.ciesin.org/) in the Columbia Climate School at Columbia University. Assane Gadiaga (WorldPop) led the input processing and the modelling work following the Random Forest (RF)-based dasymetric mapping approach developed by Stevens et al. (2015). Thomas Abbott supported the covariates processing work, as well as Christopher Lloyd, particularly for the processing of residential/non-residential building footprints. In-country engagements were done by Benard Mitto, Justine Dowden (CIESIN) and Maria Muniz (Unicef). Using the 2009 and 2019 census data from the Kenya's National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), the US Census Bureau released the census-based total population projections, population by age and gender and digital sub-counties boundaries. Duygu Cihan helped in the preparation of these input population data. Attila N Lazar, Edith Darin and Heather Chamberlain advised on the modelling procedure. The work was overseen by Attila N Lazar and Andy J Tatem.
