UCDP Georeferenced Event Data for Côte d'Ivoire

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in Côte d'Ivoire. Events are geo-coded to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days, as described in the Journal of Peace Research (2013) and the UCDP GED Codebook (2019). The dataset is provided by HDX under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of organized violence based on daily-level event data.
• Conducting sub-national risk assessments based on village-level geographic precision.
• Validating or training predictive models for political instability based on historical event records.

Strengths

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

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.
