Acled

About

ACLED is a U.S.-based nonprofit that collects, analyzes, and maps disaggregated data on political violence and protest events worldwide. The organization publishes real-time, granular datasets—detailing dates, actors, locations, fatalities, and event types—alongside analytical reports that explore conflict scenarios. ACLED’s open-access model makes both data and insights freely available to researchers, policymakers, and the public, fostering transparency and evidence-based decision making. Supported by major donors such as the European Commission and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ACLED distinguishes itself through its academic foundation, comprehensive global coverage, and commitment to real-time data dissemination.
