ACLED - Armed Conflict Location and Event Data, 2006

Description

The ACLED dataset codes exact locations, dates, and additional characteristics of individual battle events in states affected with civil war. There is a specific focus on tracking rebel activity and distinguishing between territorial transfers of military control from governments to rebel groups and vice versa, and the location of rebel group bases, headquarters, strongholds and presence. The dataset also records one-sided violence on civilians by both government or rebel actors and conflicts between rebel groups. The conflicts coded for in the dataset are in general compatible with the Uppsala/PRIO armed conflicts.
