The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) is a disaggregated data collection, analysis, and crisis mapping project. ACLED collects the dates, actors, locations, fatalities, and types of all reported political violence and protest events in more than 200 countries and territories in real time. 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.
ACLED is a registered non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status in the United States.

Resources Available on the ACLED Website: The full disaggregated event-based dataset is available for download through ACLED’s Data Export Tool and API with an open access account. Explore our latest data through our interactive global dashboard and check in for weekly data updates and analysis tracking key political violence and protest trends around the world, as well as special projects like our Early Warning Research Hub. Additional guides and methodology documents can be found in the ACLED Resource Library.
Resources Available on HDX: ACLED makes a range of aggregated data files available through the HDX portal, updated weekly. Because the main ACLED dataset is disaggregated, ACLED data can be aggregated both spatially (e.g. to the national level) and temporally (e.g. to the month or year level), among other options. When a user downloads ACLED’s disaggregated event-based data, each row in the file represents a single event occurring between designated actors in a specific named location on a specific day. In the spatially and temporarily aggregated files available on HDX, each row in the data represents a country-year (e.g. Iraq-2017) or a country-month-year (e.g. Somalia-January 2010), depending on the file.
