Modelled gridded population estimates for the Kinshasa, Kongo-Central, Kwango, Kwilu, and Mai-Ndombe provinces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo 2018, version 2.0

These data were produced by the WorldPop Research Group at the University of Southampton. This work is part of the GRID3 (Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development) project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (OPP1182425). Project partners include WorldPop at the University of Southampton, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and the Flowminder Foundation. The modelling work was led by Gianluca Boo and Edith Darin with the support from Douglas R. Leasure and Claire A. Dooley. Coordination was provided by Heather R. Chamberlain and oversight by Andrew J. Tatem and Attila N. Lazar. The support of the whole WorldPop Research Group is acknowledged. The UCLA-DRC Health Research and Training Program, the Kinshasa School of Public Health (KSPH), and the Bureau Central du Recensement (BCR) coordinated and conducted the two microcensus rounds. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory contributed to the first round of microcensus. We acknowledge the contribution of the many individuals within these institutions.
