The United Nations Population Fund, in collaboration with ESCWA, the League of Arab States, and the Arab Institute for Training and Research in Statistics, and in partnership with WorldPoP of the University of Southampton, is conducting a regional workshop on geospatial population estimation. The workshop targets senior leaders of national statistical offices and other key decision makers from selected countries that may have gaps in population data and uncertain prospects for a complete census, namely Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, the State of Palestine, Somalia, the Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen.

The aim of the workshop is to provide an in-depth orientation on geospatial population estimation techniques and their potential contribution to population data systems with a view to getting buy-in for their implementation in the target countries.
