Zimbabwe Conflict Events: Georeferenced and Day-Level Violence Data

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in Zimbabwe. 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 is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO.

Use Cases

• Predicting conflict hotspots based on georeferenced event locations.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on day-level event data.
• Training models for early warning systems based on disaggregated organized violence data.
• Conducting spatial analysis of conflict dynamics 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.
