UCDP Georeferenced Event Data for Kuwait: Daily Conflict Events

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence with lethal outcomes. Events are geo-coded down to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is published under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license and was last updated on 2026-04-03.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on geo-coded event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily-level event data.
• Conducting sub-national risk assessment based on village-level geographic precision.
• Validating theoretical models of organized violence using empirically recorded events.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal duration is disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is described as UCDP's most disaggregated dataset for organized violence.

Limitations
