This archive was produced by WorldPop, University of Southampton,
as part of the GRID3 – Phase 2 Scaling project funded by the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (INV-044979).

The work was undertaken in collaboration with GRID3 and the Center
for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN),
Columbia Climate School, Columbia University.

The archive integrates displacement assessment data and
administrative boundary datasets from multiple humanitarian
partners into harmonised spatial databases and GIS products for
Nigeria (NGA) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (COD).

The underlying displacement information was obtained from
humanitarian partners, including the International Organization
for Migration (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), the
United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
(UN OCHA), the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX), and associated
national humanitarian data providers.

Administrative boundary datasets were obtained from GRID3 and
HDX/Common Operational Datasets (COD-AB), depending on country
and administrative level.

The authors gratefully acknowledge all organisations involved in
the collection, maintenance, quality assurance, and dissemination
of the original displacement assessments and administrative
boundary datasets that made this work possible.

This archive provides harmonised derived products generated from
those source datasets and should not be interpreted as replacing
or superseding the original data providers' official publications.
