The more people die as a result of armed violence, the higher the intensity of armed conflict is assumed to be.

    • Due to the dissolution of USAID, FEWS data is no longer available. Food insecurity is now only based on UN SDG indicators.
    • Conflict indicators no longer contain additional population-based exposure. Since conflict occurrence and data collection is already correlated with population, conflict data is assumed to have built-in exposure. For more details, refer to the technical documentation.
    • Surrounding violence and Surrounding popular unrest now count water as zeros in their calculation.
