Ecuador Conflict Events: Georeferenced and Temporally Disaggregated Violence Data

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in Ecuador. Events are geo-coded to the level of individual villages and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is provided by HDX under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license and was last updated on 2026-03 03.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict event patterns based on geo-coded location data.
• Analyzing temporal trends in organized violence based on daily event disaggregation.
• Conducting sub-national risk assessments based on village-level event data.
• Training predictive models for conflict forecasting based on historical event sequences.

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.

Limitations

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