UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset: Ethiopia Conflict Events at Village and Day Level

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in Ethiopia. Events are geo-coded to the level of individual villages and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is published by the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University and was last updated on 2026-03 03.

Use Cases

• Predicting conflict hotspots based on fine-grained geospatial and temporal event data
• Analyzing temporal patterns of organized violence based on daily-level event disaggregation
• Mapping conflict intensity at a local scale based on village-level geo-coding
• Conducting causal inference studies on conflict drivers based on individual event records

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 organized violence

Limitations

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