🇲🇼Malawi’s first automated census-mapping workshop is complete! 🛠️Geospatial tools are transforming how the 2028 census is planned. 🔗Read more: worldpop.org/blog/first-auto… #Malawi #DataForDevelopment #Census2028 #GeospatialData

🛰️📊We're piloting AI and satellite data with Malawi’s NSO to update census areas ahead of 2028. Boosting accuracy while cutting costs. #DataForDevelopment #FundedByFCDO #Malawi #Census2028 #InnovationInStats 🔗worldpop.org/current-project…

🚀 We’re thrilled to support @PBSofficialpak & @UNFPA in modernising survey sampling in #Pakistan! From AI to satellite data, our training boosts capacity for smarter & more inclusive data - key for disaster response & national planning. #DataForGood worldpop.org/blog/worldpop-s…

🚀 Exciting news! In partnership with the UK’s ONS & funded by FCDO, we're introducing automated mapping tech to Malawi’s National Statistics Office. Streamlining the 2028 #census for fast, cost-efficient, and accurate enumeration. #DataForGood #Malawi worldpop.org/blog/worldpop-b…

We are excited to be co-creating the future of AI-powered geospatial intelligence through a transformational knowledge partnership with @WorldPopProject and geospatial research hub at @unisouthampton. Over the last 3 days, we explored how the fusion of AI, human geography, and location-informed intelligence can power inclusive economies, especially in underserved communities across the Global South. By integrating population dynamics, spatial mobility, and settlement characterization with real-time, contextual AI models, this collaboration aims to bring global research to local relevance and impact. This is what it means to truly localize AI for good. Our delegation, represented by @bayoadekanmbi of @EqualyzAI and @rKyrian of @dsn_ai_network engaged in high-impact ideation and applied solution-building sessions with some of the UK’s brightest minds. The trip also presented a great opportunity to engage with the legendary @DameWendyDBE, Regius Professor of Computer Science at @unisouthampton, and are deeply grateful to our host @andytatem, Director of @WorldPopProject and leading expert in spatial demography and epidemiology. Special thanks to other brilliant contributors including Sada Saxton, Ian Coady, Dr. Jessica Espey, @Lai_CDC, @SarchilQ, Dr. Edson Utazi, @ChibuzorNnanatu, @NatuTejedor, @yankeyortis, Alexandra Frosch, Dr. Somnath Chaudhuri, Dr. Winfred Dotse-Gborgbortsi, Dr. Krishnaveni K.S, Dr. Mohamed Megheib, Safia Siddiqi-Hibbert and many others. Together, we are building a future where AI is not just intelligent, but location-aware, context-sensitive, and impact-driven. Indeed, emerging markets deserve tailored solutions and this collaboration is a step forward. #AIforGood #GeospatialAI #EqualyzAI #WorldPop #UniversityOfSouthampton #DataScienceNigeria #SpatialDemography

🚀 A true honour to welcome Professor Dame Wendy Hall to WorldPop! We had an inspiring & wide-ranging conversation on using AI to fill global demographic data gaps🌍- plus insights into UK data sharing initiatives & the power of interdisciplinary collaboration 💡🔬 #AIforGood

🌍 Introducing the new WorldPop #QGIS Plugin for Population Disaggregation ✅ Disaggregate population data top-down using spatial covariates ✅ Generate gridded pop estimates at 100m res ✅ Disaggregate population by age/sex ✅ No need to program! youtu.be/WPStOdqE8xE

🚀 In preparation for #SomaliCensus we ran an 8-day Training the Trainers workshop 🌍 Boosting geospatial skills of @NBS_Somalia & @UNFPA_SOMALIA - playing a key role in enhancing the accuracy & efficiency of the census 💡#preEA #CapacityBuilding 👇 🔗tinyurl.com/zj7r2mn2

We are excited to announce the release of our new World Bank Policy Research Working Paper, which presents a practical and cost-effective approach for creating a digital national sampling frame in #Armenia: bit.ly/4jlwOQN #DigitizedSamplingFrame #PreEA #householdSurvey

The 5th #UNDataForum hosted over 3,000 leaders and experts from different sectors to talk about what needs to be done to improve the world. Excellent attendance during our session; more geospatial and technology innovations are needed to address the global challenges

We are at the @UNDataForum in Medellin, Colombia this week! The team will be talking about our work on global population mapping, geospatial tools for supporting survey/census design, and small area population estimation for health campaigns and disaster response (see video).

Thanks for organising this. It was an excellent opportunity to present our work on how innovative geospatial techniques can improve data collection on forced displacement @WorldPopProject @jointdatacenter @UoSGeogEnv @FCDOGovUK @ONS @Refugees #ForcedDisplacement #DataInnovation

New @WorldPopProject paper in collaboration with @UniofOxford and @Refugees on applying machine learning techniques and various satellite-derived covariates to map refugees at fine resolution. A strategy that can maximise outreach to populations at risk link.springer.com/article/10…

Dev-Afrique Development Advisors have published a new report that documents and assesses the impact that WorldPop's work has had over recent years. The impact assessment report can be downloaded here: worldpop.org/impact/dev-a/

👀In Southampton? Lookout for WorldPop billboards popping up! 👀

Benin is about to embark on its first-ever digital census, therefore I'm proud to be a part of this historic event. They have used all of our tools, which has improved accuracy and reduced costs. @WorldPopProject @insbenin @unfpa_benin #preEATool @UoSGeogEnv

Last week I represented @WorldPopProject in a @PopDevUNFPA technical workshop on Learning and Adapting lessons on Baseline Population, displacement and refugee data interoperability in South Africa. #interoperability #opendata #geospatialData #GriddedPopulation

At #Geopalooza 4.0 organised by @gatesfoundation @WorldPopProject is well-represented. For more information about possible collaboration on our many open gespatial datasets and methods for your applications, please get in contact with us. #population #health #samplingframe
