The Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP)
The Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) is widely regarded as the world’s leading source of data on organised violence. Its definitions of armed conflict have become the global standard for how conflicts are systematically categorised and analysed. Data collection began in 1979, and in the mid-1980s, this was formalised under the name Conflict Data Project. It remains the longest-running active effort dedicated to collecting and maintaining conflict data.
