Libya Conflict Events with Village-Level Geocoding

Libya is the geographic focus of this dataset, which contains individual events of organized violence. The data is the Uppsala Conflict Data Program's most disaggregated dataset, with events geo-coded to the level of villages and temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is provided by HDX and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and patterns based on georeferenced event data.
• Analyzing temporal trends in organized violence based on daily-level event durations.
• Mapping the geographic distribution of violent incidents 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 described as UCDP's most disaggregated dataset.

Limitations

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