Title
Bottom-up gridded population estimates for , version 1.2 [Nigeria]
Description
This data release includes gridded population estimates (~100 m grid cells) with national coverage for Nigeria, along with estimates of the number of people belonging to individual age-sex groups. These population estimates represent the time period 2016 to 2017 corresponding to when the household surveys were conducted. Populations were mapped into areas where residential settlements were detected based on satellite imagery mostly from 2014. The data were produced by the [WorldPop](https://www.worldpop.org/) Research Group at the University of Southampton. This work was part of the [GRID3 ](https://grid3.org/) project with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (OPP1182408). Project partners included the United Nations Population Fund, Center for International Earth Science Information Network ([CIESIN](http://www.ciesin.org/)) in the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and the [Flowminder](https://www.flowminder.org/) Foundation. Statistical modellingwas led by Doug Leasure and Chris Jochem with oversight from Andy Tatem. In-country implementation was led by Tracy Adole. Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL), eHealth Africa, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation collected microcensus data and produced the settlement map used as inputs for this work. The whole WorldPop group and GRID3 partners are acknowledged for overall project support. __RELEASE CONTENT__ 1. NGA_population_v1_2_gridded.zip 2. NGA_population_v1_2_admin.zip 3.
