Morocco Conflict Events with Village-Level Geocoding and Daily Temporal Resolution

Morocco is the geographic focus of this dataset of individual organized violence events. The data is the Uppsala Conflict Data Program's most disaggregated collection, with events geo-coded to individual villages and temporal durations specified to single days. It is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO and was last updated on 2026-04 03.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on village-level geocoding.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily event durations.
• Training predictive models for conflict risk based on historical event data.
• Conducting spatial analysis of organized violence based on georeferenced event locations.

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.
