The IISS Armed Conflict Database provides analysis and statistics on 20 African countries. The ACD offers regular updates, weekly timelines and annual reports on the political, military and humanitarian trends in active conflicts. The database, as well as looking at reported clashes and encounters, fatality figures, refugee flows and the role of non-state armed groups in ongoing conflicts, also examines countries in the post-conflict reconciliation stage by providing information on the progress of disarmament, demobilisation and rehabilitation programmes and truth and reconciliation processes. The ACD enables researchers to keep up to date with developments in African peace talks, keep track of elections results in budding African democracies, and remain informed about all aspects of conflict-related violence in Africa.
