UCDP Georeferenced Event Data: Individual Conflict Events in Senegal

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset on organized violence, with events geo-coded to individual villages and temporal durations to single days. The dataset is sourced from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program and is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO. It was last updated on 2026-04-03.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on fine-grained geo-coding.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily event durations.
• Training geospatial machine learning models for conflict prediction.
• Conducting sub-national risk assessments based on village-level event locations.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
