Sudan Conflict Events with Village-Level Geocoding and Daily Temporal Detail

Sudan is the geographic focus of this dataset, which contains individual events of organized violence. The data is the Uppsala Conflict Data Program's most disaggregated dataset, with events geo-coded to the village level and temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-03 and is provided by HDX under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license.

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.
• Training geospatial machine learning models on village-level conflict event coordinates.
• 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 described as UCDP's most disaggregated dataset.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
