UCDP Georeferenced Event Data: Individual Conflict Events in Mozambique

Mozambique conflict data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program's most disaggregated dataset, covering individual events of organized violence. Events are geo-coded to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is documented in the Journal of Peace Research and a codebook from Uppsala University.

Use Cases

• Predicting conflict hotspots based on fine-grained geospatial and temporal event data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of organized violence based on daily-duration events.
• Mapping conflict intensity at the village level based on geo-coded event locations.
• Conducting causal inference studies on conflict drivers using disaggregated event records.

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.
