Use Cases

• Predicting conflict hotspots based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily event disaggregation.
• Mapping the geographic distribution of organized violence at a village scale.
• Conducting causal inference studies on conflict drivers using fine-grained event data.

Strengths

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