Liberia Conflict Events: Georeferenced and Day-Level Violence Data

UCDP's Georeferenced Event Dataset provides disaggregated records of organized violence in Liberia. The data covers individual lethal events, geo-coded to village-level locations with temporal durations specified to single days. The dataset is maintained by the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University, with methodology described in the Journal of Peace Research.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on geo-coded event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on day-level event durations.
• Mapping risk factors for organized violence at the village-level geography.
• Training predictive models for conflict forecasting using disaggregated event data.

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.
