South Sudan 2019 gridded population estimates from census projections adjusted for displacement, 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 funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (OPP1182408). The primary intended use of these data was aiding the BMGF field teams. The modelling work was led by Claire Dooley with support from Chris Jochem and oversight by WorldPop director Andy Tatem and GRID3 lead Attila Lazar. The support of the whole WorldPop group is acknowledged, as well as the our [GRID3](https://grid3.org/) partners ([UNFPA](https://www.unfpa.org), [Columbia University](http://www.ciesin.org/) and [Flowminder](https://www.flowminder.org/)). We thank the teams at IOM and ACLED for their excellent work in collecting data and making it freely available.

The grid square values were derived using the National Bureau of Statistics' 2019 population projection estimates that were adjusted to account for displacement of people. The locations people have been displaced to were directly obtained from IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). The locations people have been displaced from were derived using DTM and the Armed Conflict Locations and Events Database (ACLED). Numbers of displaced people per location were calculated using recorded numbers of international refugees and internally displaced persons.
