Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED)

Disaggregated data collection, analysis, and crisis mapping project. Collects the dates, actors, locations, fatalities, and types of all reported political violence and protest events across Africa, the Middle East, Latin America & the Caribbean, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia & the Caucasus, Europe, and the United States of America. The ACLED team conducts analysis to describe, explore, and test conflict scenarios, and makes both data and analysis open for free use by the public. Earliest data is from 1997 but begins much later for many regions.
