Sierra Leone has recently concluded its georeferenced mid-term census that collected up-to-date, accurate andcomplete demographic information on its residents. This provides a unique opportunity to compare and validatedifferent types of small area population estimation models and therefore inform approaches to producingintercensal estimates going forward. By utilizing the full georeferenced mid-term census results, the proposedresearch will:(i) Test various population estimation methods using sub-samples from the mid-term census:a. test the performance of different sample design strategies in 'bottom-up' model applications (e.g., stratification,weighted, etc.)b. quantify the performance of such 'bottom-up' estimates against the mid-term census when using routinelycollected surveys as inputsc. develop and test a wide range of geospatial data (i.e., covariates) and identify the best suited for populationestimation. This will include the exploration of machine learning options to model building usage (residential/nonresidential,and other characteristics) using high-resolution satellite imagery, building footprint data and labels anddata from various surveys.d. identify the best method to estimate age/sex structures at high resolution,(ii) test different types of sub-national projection methods from the last census to examine which work mostaccurately and what ancillary datasets are most valuable, and(iii) compare various top-down disaggregation of population projections with the geo-referenced census data.

塞拉利昂最近完成了地理参考中期人口普查，收集了有关其居民的最新、准确和完整的人口统计信息。这提供了一个独特的机会来比较和验证不同类型的小区域人口估计模型，从而为今后进行普查间估计的方法提供信息。通过利用完整的地理参考中期人口普查结果，拟议的研究将：（i）使用中期人口普查的子样本测试各种人口估计方法：a。测试“自下而上”模型应用中不同样本设计策略的性能（例如分层、加权等）b．当使用常规收集的调查作为输入时，根据中期人口普查量化这种“自下而上”估计的表现c。开发和测试各种地理空间数据（即协变量）并确定最适合人口估计的数据。这将包括探索机器学习选项，以使用高分辨率卫星图像、建筑足迹数据和标签以及来自各种调查的数据来模拟建筑用途（住宅/非住宅和其他特征）。确定以高分辨率估计年龄/性别结构的最佳方法，(ii) 测试上次人口普查中不同类型的地方预测方法，以检查哪些工作最准确以及哪些辅助数据集最有价值，以及(iii) 比较各种顶级数据集-根据地理参考人口普查数据对人口预测进行向下分解。
