DATA ANALYTICS
MGR has global expertise in collecting, analyzing and maintaining big datasets. The Microgovernance Research Initiative (MGR) publishes socio-political infographics in order to understand the latest trends and conflict dynamics in Bangladesh on a regular basis. The report is produced from the database that identifies and codes events of unrest, conflict and violence. Coding is based on a detailed codebook, 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. However, it follows several methods, caveats and safeguards to maintain accuracy and adequacy throughout the process. The infographics report is based on a regular monitoring of local and national newspapers both online and offline.
