Colombia Armed Violence and Displacement Monthly Totals (2012-2018)

OCHA Colombia provides monthly totals of armed violence events and affected populations across Colombia from 2012 to 2018. The data tracks four specific categories: mass displacement, access restrictions, armed actions, and attacks against civilians. It includes both the count of events and the number of individuals impacted for displacement and access categories.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of 'Mass displacement' events and affected persons over a 7-year period
• Statistical correlation between 'Armed actions' and 'Access restrictions' for humanitarian planning
• Longitudinal study of 'Attacks against civilians' during the Colombian peace process era

Strengths

• 7-year longitudinal coverage (2012-2018)
• Includes both event counts and population impact metrics
• Adheres to HXL humanitarian data standards

Limitations

• Temporal staleness as data concludes in 2018
• Monthly aggregation prevents analysis of specific daily incidents
• Geographic granularity below the national level is not specified in the summary
