Cameroon Conflict Events: Georeferenced and Day-Level Violence Data

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence, with each event occurring at a specific time and place. The data is sufficiently fine-grained to be geo-coded to the level of individual villages and has temporal durations disaggregated to single days. This dataset is sourced from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program and was last updated on March 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Predicting conflict hotspots based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on day-level event data.
• Mapping the geographic distribution of organized violence at the village level.
• Studying the dynamics of specific conflict events over time.

Strengths

• Data is 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.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
