Abstract

The Microgovernance Research Initiative (MGR) has been publishing infographics on conflict and violence in order to understand the latest trends and dynamics of conflict in Bangladesh. This infographic report is produced from the violence monitoring database that identifies and codes events of unrest, conflict, and violence in Bangladesh. Coding is based on a detailed codebook, a list of different variables, and codes about specific places, types, actors, victims, lethal and non-lethal causalities, etc. While MGR strives to record incidents as precisely and accurately as possible, the initiative makes no claim and guarantee about the accuracy or biases of ‘news contents’, as we collect all the data from different newspapers with different backgrounds publicly available. However, it follows several methods, caveats, and safeguards to maintain accuracy and adequacy throughout the process. The infographics include data from around 127 local and national newspapers- online and offline.
