Madagascar Conflict Events with Village-Level Geocoding and Daily Temporal Detail

Madagascar data from the UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset, covering individual events of organized violence. The dataset is the most disaggregated from UCDP, with events geo-coded to individual villages and temporal durations disaggregated to single days. It is based on research from Uppsala University and was last updated on 2026-04 03.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict patterns and escalation based on georeferenced event data.
• Conducting spatiotemporal analysis of violence based on village-level coordinates and daily timestamps.
• Training predictive models for conflict risk based on historical event granularity.
• Visualizing the geographic distribution and intensity of organized violence.

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.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the source collection.
