Abstract

The Microgovernance Research Initiative (MGR) has been pub- lishing monthly and quarterly infographics on a regular basis to understand the latest trends and dynamics of conflict and vio- lence 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 cau- salities, etc. While MGR strives to record incidents as precisely and accurately as possible, the initiative makes no claim and guar- antee about the accuracy or biases of ‘news contents’, as we col- lect all the data from different newspapers with different back- grounds 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.
