Regularly updating data on population numbers and characteristics to help with effective governance and efficient allocation of resources.
We work to ensure that everyone is mapped and counted in decision making. We develop geospatial integration methods to make detailed demographic datasets. BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 work features in Nature, Science, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 datasets are used by governments, international agencies, academia, NGOs and the private sector. We work closely with the United Nation agencies and national statistical offices in low and middle-income countries. BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 approaches are designed to maximise uptake and impact, and to strengthen local capacity.
BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 work focus areas for development and implementation cover population distributions, demographics and dynamics in resource-poor settings. BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 geostatistical modelling integrates data from traditional sources including censuses, and satellite and cellphone datasets.
We produce high resolution maps of:
We also develop modelling frameworks for subnational migration flows, urban change and disease spread.
WorldPop is made up of more than 30 members of staff, including demographers, geographers, ecologists, statisticians, epidemiologists and computer scientists.
Principal funders and collaborators include:
WorldPop complements traditional population data sources with dynamic, high-resolution data from satellites, surveys and cellphones to map human population distributions at high resolution, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that everyone, everywhere is counted in decision making.
