Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project - Historical Data

Political violence affects two billion citizens across the world. The consequences are stark: since 2005, additional mortality from armed conflict is close to two million (PSR, 2015); development progress is reversed (World Bank, 2011); and there are high economic costs borne by affected states (Brück et al, 2013). Conflict contributes to political decline, high corruption and poverty, poor social cohesion, and low institutional trust. It likewise exacerbates existing global threats, such as border insecurity, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the spread of extremist ideologies and terrorism. While the consequences of conflict are known, objective, timely, high-quality data are necessary to understand the extent of these effects across high risk and unstable contexts. ACLED is an event-based data project designed for disaggregated conflict analysis and crisis mapping. Historical coverage varies depending on the region and can be downloaded using the Data Export Tool or the API. ACLED collects the dates, actors, locations, fatalities, and types of all reported political violence and protest events across all of Africa from 1997, most of South Asia and Southeast Asia from 2010, most of the Middle East from 2016, all of Latin America & the Caribbean, East Asia, Central Asia & the Caucasus, and parts of East and Southeastern Europe from 2018, and for all of the United States and Western Europe from 2020.
