Realtime data for 2015 is collected and published on a weekly basis. Due to the realtime nature of data collection which results in occasional reporting lags, and/or insufficient detail in early event reports for inclusion in the dataset, a small number of events in the 2015 data pre-date this period. These have been coded and published for the first time in 2015 and do not duplicate any events found in the full published dataset.
Data files are updated each Monday, containing data from the previous week. The data files below include a single running file for all 2015 data, and monthly data files.
Please note: ACLED periodically carries out quality checks and reviews on historical data (from 1997-2014) as part of our revision process, adding newly coded events from historical periods as required. These data are included in our running realtime file (below), and will be included in a fully revised and updated version of the annual dataset in January.
