Uganda Political Violence and Demonstration Events Aggregated by Month

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Uganda. The data is structured into country-year and country-month summaries to track conflict trends over time. As of March 2026, the dataset continues to receive regular updates.

Use Cases

• Time-series analysis of 'political violence' trends in Uganda
• Correlation studies between 'demonstration' counts and 'country-month' periods
• Monitoring 'civilian-targeting' frequency for humanitarian risk assessment

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency
• Categorized by specific event types like civilian-targeting
• Sourced from ACLED expert monitoring

Limitations

• Aggregated data lacks granular spatial coordinates for individual incidents
• Requires external registration on the ACLED website for full event-level details
