These three markets were selected based on a mapping exercise of locally-available nutritious food. The assessment ran from April 5-20, 2023.
Building on market systems development approaches, this assessment uses a Market Systems Resilience (MSR) lens to gain insights on the capacity of the three market systems to absorb, adapt, or transform in the face of multiple shocks and stresses. It does this by interrogating eight MSR domains (four structural, four behavioral): Connectivity, Diversity, Power Dynamics, Rule of Law, Cooperation, Competition, Decision-Making, and Business Strategy.
In addition, two resource related elements have been included in the analysis— access to finance and market infrastructure—to form a clearer picture of the resilience capacity of these markets.
