When are ACLED data updated?
ACLED's data publication schedule
The availability of the latest ACLED data depends on two factors. First, your account level determines whether you have access to more or less frequent updates. For example, some users have access to expedited/biweekly or daily data. Second, the data update schedule as well as time-period coverage varies by country or region. See ACLED's detailed Country/time-period coverage for more information. For all options on how to download ACLED data, please see Conflict data.
