The Complex Emergency Database (CE-DAT) is an international initiative to monitor and evaluate the health status of populations in regions affected by conflicts and other complex emergencies.

CE-DAT, maintained by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, aims to:

• Provide key mortality, nutritional and health indicators for rational humanitarian aid decision-making.
• Promote the effectiveness of international policies on conflict prevention and response through evidence-based trend analyses and impact briefings.
• Strengthen the capacity of national and international field agencies in data collection.
• Improve standardization and establish norms to enable the comparability of complex emergency data across time and space.

The database, covering some 40 countries worldwide, is publicly-accessible through the CE-DAT website and includes essential health indicators such as mortality, acute malnutrition, and vaccination coverage rates.
