Accessing reliable sub-national population data can be a challenge in many countries. Fortunately, there are several valuable geospatial datasets that can help fill the gap for researchers, planners, and analysts.
Thank you for sharing this resource, @yohaniddawela.

Most countries don't publish official sub-national population data.
Luckily, there are several geospatial population datasets we can use instead.
Here's a list of them (I wish I knew about 5 years ago):
