Yemen Population Estimates 2019

A Population technical workgroup was formed in Sana’a (IOM, UNFPA, OCHA, NAMCHA and CSO ) and another one in Aden (IOM, OCHA, CSO, MOPIC including Executive Unit). IDP data flow figures (from district to district) were collected, cross checked between different sources (IOM DTM, NAMCHA, Executive unit) in cases multiple datasets for the same location were available. This resulted in a country-wide IDP movement database.

The TWGs agreed to use this database to calculate the estimated population using the following formula : Estimated Population = CSO projected population( 2019) – IDPS who left the district + idps who came to the district

All members in both workgroups agreed on the final results on 3 Dec 2018. The attached dataset represents the results of the work of both groups and will be used for 2019 HNO and HRP.
