Predicting Conflict
The Violence Early-Warning System (ViEWS) is a publicly available, data-driven forecasting system based at Uppsala University and Peace Research Institute Oslo. It generates monthly predictions of the number of fatalities in impending state-based conflict 1-36 months ahead, as well as probabilistic assessments of the likelihood that given conflict thresholds will be met – for each country and 55x55 km location in Africa and the Middle East.
