Prof. Clionadh Raleigh is ACLED’s CEO and President.
ACLED is divided into regional teams covering Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, Europe, Central Asia & the Caucasus, Latin America & the Caribbean, and the United States. Each region is divided into sub-regions, which are overseen by one or more RMs who manage a number of Researchers working on one or more countries. While Researchers are responsible for the sourcing and production of high-quality data, RMs ensure data production takes place across their region in a timely, consistent, and accurate manner. The Methodology team works with the RMs to ensure that data remain methodologically consistent and of high quality across all regions. An overview of ACLED’s current managing team is available online. See below for an organizational chart of ACLED’s management team.
Researchers are ACLED’s backbone. ACLED is only as strong as our Researchers’ motivation and the quality of their work. They are responsible for producing the vital information upon which the project depends. Among the Researchers’ team, the Assistant Research Managers (ARMs) work closely with the RMs in the everyday management of each desk.
In addition, ACLED has partnerships with local organizations all over the world that collaborate with us to help produce data. ACLED also has partnerships with large international organizations for data use, as well as Research Analysts who assist in data visualization and special projects.
For all issues, your first point of contact should be your Research Manager. If you do not feel comfortable talking to your supervisor about the issue, please contact human resources.
