UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset: Guinea-Bissau Conflict Events

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in Guinea-Bissau. Events are geo-coded to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is sourced from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program and was last updated on 2026-04 03.

Use Cases

• Conflict prediction modeling based on fine-grained temporal and spatial event data.
• Humanitarian risk assessment based on geo-coded locations of violence.
• Temporal analysis of conflict dynamics based on events disaggregated to single days.
• Spatial clustering of organized violence based on village-level coordinates.

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.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the source, focusing on Guinea-Bissau.
