UCDP Georeferenced Event Data on Conflict in Tanzania

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in the United Republic of Tanzania. Events are geo-coded to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is based on research from Uppsala University and was last updated on 2026-04 03.

Use Cases

• Predicting conflict hotspots based on georeferenced event locations and dates.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of organized violence at a daily resolution.
• Mapping the geographic distribution of lethal violence down to the village level.
• Conducting causal inference studies on the drivers of conflict 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.
• 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.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to its focus on Tanzania.
