The objective of this research is to generate detailed gridded population estimates for South Sudan, including estimates for different age-sex groups and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
The research addresses the need for detailed population data in South Sudan by providing gridded population estimates at a resolution of approximately 100 meters. These estimates include demographic characteristics such as age-sex groups and distinguish between internally displaced persons (IDPs) and non-IDPs. The data support various applications, including humanitarian aid distribution, public health planning, and infrastructure development, by providing accurate information on population distribution and demographic trends.
These data include gridded estimates of population sizes at approximately 100 m resolution with national coverage across South Sudan. This includes estimates of total population sizes and population counts in 40 different age-sex groups. It also includes a breakdown of the total population sizes into internally displaced persons (IDPs) and non-IDPs.
These results were produced using publicly available census projections from the South Sudan National Bureau of Statistics and displacement data from the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), as well as building footprints from Maxar/Ecopia that were derived from recent satellite imagery.
