Does anyone have information on 'prediction of a (violent) conflict?' Are there any prediction tools or an early warning system developed for this? Perhaps other tools that can be used? Thank a a lot!
Dear Rene,
As far as I know the African set-up of Continental Early Warning Systems can

The WFP recently produced this interesting paper: http://www.wfp.org/content/occasional-paper-24-food-insecurity-and-... . It discusses their analysis of the underlying causes of violent conflict. Global Map Aid are responsible for mapping indices of poverty and it could be a useful tool for predicting where violent conflict might arise. Also, I really liked this project, which is working on information analysis for predicting where and when crisis might occur: www.recordedfuture.com.
Also, GIS expert, Christine Broenner and myself recently put together this crowdmap, which might be a useful resource for you in looking for those involved in Conflict Early Warning Systems (it is a crowd-sourced resource, which will grow as people add their own entries, so if you don't find what you're looking for now it may have something relevant for you in the near future)...keep your eyes peeled! And good luck.
Best wishes, Laura

Thus if those who are concerned could follow this suggestion so I can read their earlier replys. Thanks a lot and be assured this is a great help for my research.

To anticipate the potencial conflicts over lands, and other armed conflicts in Mindanao, community based early warning early response mechanism would be very useful. it is belong to fourth generation method that is used to monitor and and provide proactive interventions to prevent the spill over to other fragile areas in conflict affected areas.
