UCDP Georeferenced Event Data for Eswatini

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence, defined as lethal violence at a specific time and place. Events are geo-coded to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is maintained by the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University and was last updated on 2026-04-03.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and patterns based on geo-coded event locations.
• Analyzing temporal trends in organized violence based on daily-level event data.
• Conducting sub-national risk assessment based on village-level geographic precision.

Strengths

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

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 bias inherent to the source platform's collection.
