Nepal Political Violence and Demonstration Events: Weekly Aggregates

Nepal conflict data from ACLED provides weekly counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events. The records are structured as country-year and country-month aggregations to facilitate longitudinal monitoring of national stability.

Use Cases

• Analyzing annual trends in political violence event counts to identify periods of national instability
• Comparing monthly demonstration frequencies against historical averages to detect shifts in civil unrest
• Assessing the volume of civilian-targeting events for national-level humanitarian risk modeling

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency provides near-real-time monitoring of conflict trends
• Categorizes events into specific types including political violence and civilian-targeting
• Sourced from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) specialized database

Limitations

• Aggregated at the country level, preventing sub-national or district-level spatial analysis
• Requires external registration for access to the underlying granular event data
