Increasingly, these conflicts are originating due to poor environmental conditions, such as lack of access to water resources and arable land, drought, and famine. The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), a disaggregated data collection, analysis, and crisis mapping project, maintains a database of all forms of human conflict from over 50 developing countries.ACLED is the most widely used real-time data and analysis source on political violence and protest around the world. It collects the dates, actors, locations, fatalities, and modalities of all reported political violence and protest events across major regions, including Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Central Asia and the Caucasus, the Middle East, Latin America, the Caribbean, Southeastern and Eastern Europe, and the Balkans. ACLED uses four types of data sources for its analysis: traditional media, reports from NGOs/governments, local partner data, and social media. Each week, ACLED researchers analyze thousands of sources in multiple languages to provide the most comprehensive database on political violence and demonstrations.
