Datasets
These are usually a compendium of different points of data (indicators, metrics) that are compiled from a wide variety of sources for practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and scholars to have a basis for comparing different conflicts. Data about conflicts, wars, and peace efforts are included based on a common set of criteria and definitions. Such data sets are helpful in discovering and analyzing cases or in searching for trends and patterns of conflict and peacemaking.

| STOPPING WAR: 101 SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS TO REDUCE ARMED CONFLICT | Elliott Short | Conflict Management and Resolution, Peacemaking and Peacebuilding | This data set highlights and provides a synopsis of 101 peacebuilding successes. The goals is to provide evidence that peacebuilding can be effective and what works both in preventing wars and stopping political violence that has already erupted. The review of the cases concludes that intervention by governmental organizations was cited more than 7 times as often as activities by INGOs or local organizations. This report suggests a number of lines of inquiry and raises the question as to how to make interventions more effective and how to get governmental organizations to intervene to stop political violence more often. | https://mars.gmu.edu/handle/1920/12169 | Worldwide |

| USHMM Early Warning Project Statistical Risk Assessment | Valentino, Ulfelder and Hazlett, Center for Prevention of Genocide, USHMM | Genocide and Attrocity Risk Data | Genocide and mass atrocities are devastating crimes in their scale and scope, in their enduring psychic scars for survivors, and in the long-term trauma they cause in societies where they occur. Despite past efforts to address systematic killing, and a body of law formed after the Holocaust to prevent and punish perpetrators, such crimes persist. The dataset uses quantitative and qualitative methods to spotlight countries where mass atrocities have not begun, but where the risk for such violence is high. USHMM strives to improve this early warning system for mass atrocities by using a variety of publicly available data and forecasting methods. | https://earlywarningproject.ushmm.org/ | Worldwide |
| USHMM Early Warning Project Comparison Survey | Valentino, Ulfelder and Hazlett, Center for Prevention of Genocide, USHMM | Genocide and Attrocity Risk Data | The survey consists of just a single question: Which country is more likely to see a new episode of mass killing in [YEAR]? Respondents choose between two countries in a head-to-head comparison. They can answer the question for as many different pairs of countries as they like. Responses are aggregated into an overall rank ordering of countries.

| Gender Inequality Index | UNDP | Gender Inequality Data | The GII is an inequality index. It measures gender inequalities in three important aspects of human development—reproductive health, measured by maternal mortality ratio and adolescent birth rates; empowerment, measured by proportion of parliamentary seats occupied by females and proportion of adult females and males aged 25 years and older with at least some secondary education; and economic status, expressed as labour market participation and measured by labour force participation rate of female and male populations aged 15 years and older. The GII is built on the same framework as the IHDI—to better expose differences in the distribution of achievements between women and men. It measures the human development costs of gender inequality. Thus the higher the GII value the more disparities between females and males and the more loss to human development. | https://hdr.undp.org/en/content/gender-inequality-index-gii | Worldwide |

| Peacebuilding Architecture Review: Matrix of Recommendations | NYU Center on International Cooperation | Peace and Security Data | Across 2020, the United Nations (UN) invited contributions to its Peacebuilding Architecture Review (PBAR). On paper, a consultative process is a good idea. But in practice, participants can come out of it frustrated. The PBAR was no exception. Most contributors looked at the secretary-general’s report in the hope of seeing their recommendations reflected—but apart from general statements with which few could disagree, the report focused mainly on providing examples of UN’s successful activities. Contributors were left to wonder if their inputs benefitted from enough attention to justify the hours and resources invested in the process. To rescue these efforts from oblivion, CIC undertook—with the support of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office—a daunting task: extracting the recommendations from the more than 70 papers that were submitted for the PBAR. Close to 800 recommendations from the UN, member states, civil society organizations, Independent Eminent Persons, and Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) consultations were consolidated in a matrix.. | https://cic.nyu.edu/Peacebuilding-Architecture-Review-Matrix | Worldwide |
