GRID3 MLI - Population v1.0

The zip files contain the following files: MLI_population_v1_0_gridded.tif This GeoTIFF raster represents estimates of total population counts within grid cells of approximately 100macross Mali The raster values are the mean of a posterior distribution (calibrated by the census cartographytotals when available) and therefore include decimals (e.g. 0.5 people). An estimate of 0.5 people in twoneighbouring cells indicates that one person lives somewhere within those two cells. NA values representcells where no building footprint is present. MLI_population_v1_0_agesex.zip This zip file contains 37 GeoTIFF rasters representing estimated population counts for specific age and sex groups within grid cells of approximately 100m. The rasters were created post-hoc by multiplying the total population counts provided in the MLI_population_v1_0_gridded.tif raster and national age and sex proportions from the United Nations demographic yearbook [7], reproduced in MLI_population_v1_0_agesex_table.csv. The location of the regions of the subnational age-sex pyramids are in MLI_population_v1_0_agesex_regions.tif. 34 rasters represent commonly reported age and sex groups labelled with either an “f” (female) or an “m” (male) followed by the number of the first year of the corresponding age class. The age groups consist of five-year bins labelled with a “0”, “5”, “10”, etc. Eighty-year-olds and over are represented in the groups “f80” and “m80”. Three additional rasters represent demographic groups frequently targeted in public health campaigns. These groups are labelled as “under5” (all females and males under the age of five), “under15” (all females and males under the age of 15) and “f15_49” (all females between the ages of 15 and 49, inclusive).

These data were produced by the WorldPop Research Group at the University of Southampton as part of the GRID3 Project, GRID3 (Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development) programme funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (INV 009579, formerly OPP 1182425). The study was approved by the Faculty Ethics Committee of the University of Southampton (ERGO II 64957). The project was led by the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Columbia University, in collaboration with the WorldPop Research Group at the University of Southampton, the United Nations Fund for Population (UNFPA) and the Malian Institut National de la Statistique (INSTAT).
