Democratic Republic of the Congo 100m Pregnancies
DATASET: Alpha version 2010 estimates of numbers of pregnancies per grid square, with national birth totals adjusted to match UN population division estimates (http://esa.un.org/wpp/) and estimates of stillbirths and abortions added (www.guttmacher.org).
