Background **What is the YCM?** The YCM is an online platform providing an array of analytical tools and products to help users keep up to date with the latest developments. The YCM combines data-driven analysis with robust qualitative assessments of political violence and disorder to enable greater awareness of how the security situation is evolving. Yemen remains one of the world’s [most complex and severe conflict environments](https://acleddata.com/series/acled-conflict-index), making timely and reliable information on violence patterns, drivers, and agents an imperative to inform realistic dialogue and negotiation at all levels, allow for conflict-sensitive and effective program design, and bolster accountability. **YCM outputs** The YCM includes an interactive map of Yemen, updated weekly, displaying incidents and fatalities over a set period of time, with a number of filters so that users can focus on areas of interest. It additionally features multiple monitors designed to track key thematic developments and connections with ACLED’s conflict forecasting and early warning tools to identify potential escalation hotspots across Yemen. ## **Interactive map** The dashboard maps political violence events in Yemen and related events in Saudi Arabia since the onset of the regional conflict in March 2015\.
