Kenya 1km Literacy

DATASET: version 1.0 estimates of the proportion of women aged 15-49 per grid square that were classed as literate in 2008/9; the data series is comprised of two datasets, a) predicted proportion of female literacy (KEN_literacy_F.tif), and b) related uncertainty map (KEN_literacy_F_interdecile.tif).
REGION: Africa
SPATIAL RESOLUTION: 0.00833333 decimal degrees (approx 1km at the equator)

UNITS: Dataset a: Proportion of women aged 15-49 classed at literate (median value); dataset b: Interdecile range - the difference between the first and the ninth deciles (uncertainty dataset).
MAPPING APPROACH: Bayesian geostatistical modelling methods in combination with high resolution gridded spatial covariates applied to GPS-located household survey data on literacy from the DHS program, circa 2008/9.
