UCDP

The Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) is a renowned academic initiative dedicated to systematically collecting and analyzing data on armed conflicts worldwide since the 1970s. This program, part of the Department of Peace and Conflict Research, provides a critical resource for researchers, policymakers, and the public interested in global violence trends.

The website serves as a comprehensive data hub, allowing users to explore conflicts through various views such as the Countries in Conflict View and Fatalities View. It also offers a robust API for programmatic access to the data, alongside direct download options for datasets. This ensures that the extensive conflict information is readily available for further analysis and integration into other systems.

UCDP's data categorizes violence into distinct types, including State-Based Violence, Non-State Violence, and One-Sided Violence, enabling detailed filtering and study of different conflict dynamics. The program consistently updates its data, providing a dynamic and reliable source for understanding the complexities of armed conflicts.
