Angola Conflict Events with Georeferenced Village-Level Detail

Individual events of organized violence in Angola, geo-coded to the level of villages and disaggregated to single days. The dataset is the Uppsala Conflict Data Program's most disaggregated event dataset. It is based on research published in the Journal of Peace Research and maintained by the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of conflict based on village-level geo-coding.
• Model temporal dynamics of violence based on daily event disaggregation.
• Conduct sub-national risk assessment based on the location and frequency of lethal events.
• Validate or supplement peace process monitoring based on event-level data.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal duration is disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is described as the UCDP's most disaggregated dataset.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the source collection methodology.
