Burkina Faso: Attacks on Aid, Health, and Education Infrastructure

Insecurity Insight tracks reported incidents of violence and threats targeting aid operations, education, food systems, and healthcare services in Burkina Faso. This XLSX dataset includes records cited in Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) annual reports and covers events updated through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Quantifying 'fatalities' among 'aid workers' to evaluate humanitarian safety trends
• Spatial analysis of 'damage assessment' for 'education facilities-schools' and 'health facilities'
• Investigating the impact of 'conflict-violence' on 'food-security' and 'water systems'

Strengths

• Integrates data from the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC)
• Multi-sectoral coverage including food security and water systems
• Includes specific indicators for fatalities and infrastructure damage

Limitations

• Unknown sample size and row count
• Reporting bias inherent in conflict-zone incident monitoring
• Lack of predefined column schema in metadata
