关于我们
Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED) is a disaggregated data collection, analysis, and crisis mapping project. ACLED collects information on the dates, actors, locations, fatalities, and types of all reported political violence and protest events around the world. 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. ACLED receives financial support from the Complex Risk Analytics Fund (CRAF’d), the European Commission, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Tableau Foundation. ACLED was created by Clionadh Raleigh, a Professor of Political Violence and Geography at the University of Sussex, in 2005 as a component of her PhD work. Since 2014, ACLED has operated as a non-profit, non-governmental organization incorporated in Wisconsin. In 2022, ACLED expanded coverage to the entire world, collecting data in real time and publishing weekly updates.

#PartnerSpotlight | This month, we are proud to highlight the work of Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB), an organization dedicated to fostering awareness of and support for democracy and human rights in Bahrain and across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. ADHRB provides ACLED with weekly reports on demonstrations and the suppression of freedom of expression in Bahrain, offering critical data for understanding these dynamics. Recently, their engagement with United Nations Special Procedures offices led to a letter by UN experts addressing retaliatory measures in Jau Prison during extreme summer heat.

Global conflict is surging, with violent events rising 27% since the start of the Ukraine war. In a recent conversation with The Guardian, I reflected on why new conflicts are emerging faster than older ones can be resolved and how unchecked violence continues to spread across regions like the Sahel and Myanmar. These trends are deeply concerning, with serious implications for peace and stability worldwide. The forthcoming ACLED Conflict Index will dive deeper into these dynamics, helping us better understand and respond to the forces shaping conflict globally. Read. ?

While the number of events rose, fatalities dropped by 36%, with 209 deaths reported—206 in Lebanon and 3 in Israel.

I’m still reflecting on last week’s #UNWorldDataForum, in Medellín, Colombia. It was a great opportunity to see familiar faces and meet many new people with a shared focus on #DataForGood. A few observations… 1. Gratitude to the gorgeous city of Medellín and the kind people who welcomed us. This was my first trip to Colombia and I hope to return! (photo credit david pe?a) 2. Talk of AI found its way into every panel I attended. It was probably equal parts intrigue and skepticism (maybe a little more skepticism) but unfortunately it seemed to be narrowly focused on LLMs and Gen AI. Friends, we’re nowhere near having exhausted the practical applications of “old school” AI methods and data engineering generally. Some of the most interesting and potentially impactful solutions are delightfully, gloriously un-cutting edge. Let’s not have the “methodological tail wag the dog.” 3. Many discussions appealed to my interest in data users/usage/usability. Issues of interoperability and data literacy must be grounded in empathy for users. As much as I adore those who read the Codebook, we can’t have contempt for those who don’t! Documentation is critical, but data—even data on complex phenomena—need to be easily understood and ideally as self-explanatory as possible. As just one example, tools like ACLED’s conflict exposure measure—used to estimate that 10M children in Sudan have been within 5 km of violent conflict—help turn raw data into actionable insights. This is just one example of how we connect conflict data to real-world needs, ensuring it informs decisions and drives action. Empathy for a wide range of users is key to making data impactful. It’s about ensuring our work is not just comprehensive but also easily accessible, helping all decision makers—policy makers as well as anyone directly affected by conflict—understand and act on it. Much gratitude to the Complex Risk Analytics Fund (CRAF'd) and Antje L. for organizing an engaging session about the transformative power of the crisis data ecosystem. 4. Last but certainly not least, I appreciate the opportunity to learn about how others are working to use data to inform solutions under especially challenging circumstances. As the Director General for the Haitian Institute of Statistics and Informatics so poignantly put it: “how do you collect data when you’re running for your life?” This sticks with me, and underpins the work of many in this space. ACLED’s approach to Conflict Observatories, which I discussed during a panel on “Going beyond traditional data to shed light on vulnerable and marginalized populations,” is a key example of how the very thing we’re trying to address is what makes a data-driven strategy uniquely challenging.

Conflict continues to take a heavy toll in #Ethiopia, with significant developments in Oromia and Amhara regions. In Oromia, peace rallies across multiple zones saw residents calling for an end to fighting between the OLA/OLF-Shane and the government. Despite these calls, deadly drone strikes, forced recruitment, and ongoing clashes continue to destabilize the region. In Amhara, violence escalated in Robit town, South Wello, as clashes between the ENDF and Fano militias led to shelling and gunfire that injured civilians and disrupted daily life. Explore ACLED’s latest analysis for a deeper look at these developments: https://lnkd.in/dnrWMBfV
