Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED)

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) is an organization that collects and analyzes data on political violence and protests worldwide. It tracks incidents like battles, riots, and political demonstrations, providing detailed information on when and where these events occur. ACLED’s data helps researchers, policymakers, and humanitarian organizations understand patterns of conflict and instability, which can inform responses to crises and improve conflict resolution efforts. By making this information publicly available, ACLED contributes to a better understanding of global conflict dynamics and supports efforts to promote peace and security.
