Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily event disaggregation.
• Mapping conflict hotspots at a village-level resolution.
• Studying the relationship between organized violence and other socio-political factors.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is based on a published, peer-reviewed methodology.

Limitations
