Methodology Geographic map data is primarily based on GADM, complemented with other sources if necessary. ACLED’s location data is then used to locate incidents in these The data used in this report was collected by the Armed Conflict Location & Event maps. Incidents that could not be located are ignored. The numbers included in this Data Project (ACLED). ACLED collects data on reported conflict events in selected overview might therefore differ from the original ACLED data. ACLED uses varying African and Asian countries, Afghanistan being among them. ACLED researchers degrees of geographic precision for the individual incidents, depending on what collect event data from a variety of sources and code them by date, location, level of detail is reported. Thus, towns may represent the wider region in which agent, and event type. an incident occured, or the provincial capital may be used if only the province is known. Erroneous location data, especially due to identical place names, cannot be fully excluded. Most of the data collected by ACLED is gathered based on publicly available, secondary reports. It may therefore underestimate the volume of events. Fatality Incidents comprise the following categories: battles, headquarters or bases es- data particularly is vulnerable to bias and inaccurate reporting, and ACLED states tablished, non-violent strategic activities, riots/protests, violence against civilians, to use the most conservative estimate available. ACLED uses the reports’ context non-violent transfer of territory, remote violence. For details on these categories, to estimate fatalities for events with reported fatalities for which the exact number please see is unknown (“10” for plural fatalities, “100” if “hundreds” are mentioned, etc.).

It is advised to employ extreme caution when using fatality numbers. • ACLED – Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project: User Guide, January 2017 Assessments of the security situation should not be based solely on quantitative http://www.acleddata.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ACLED_User- analysis of event data.
