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

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence occurring at a given time and place. Events are sufficiently fine-grained to be geo-coded down to the level of individual villages, with temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is documented in the Journal of Peace Research and a codebook from Uppsala University.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily-level event disaggregation.
• Training predictive models for conflict risk based on historical event data.
• Conducting spatial analysis of organized violence at the village level.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is UCDP's most disaggregated dataset for organized violence.

Limitations

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