  2. Lecture Overview: • Multiple approaches to market assessments vary by: • Objectives • Approaches • Users • Audiences (sometimes) • Methodology • Briefly examine: • Oxfam – EMMA • WFP – EFSA and CFSVA • FEWs – Market Assessment and Analysis • Tradeoffs across approaches

  3. Various Approaches to Market Analysis • EMMA, CFSVA/EFSA, FEWS Net, MIFIRA (and other techniques) share common elements. Approaches differs due to objectives, and speed/breadth tradeoffs • Can draw on many of the same data sources and findings from others’ use of other tools. None are mechanical formulae. • MIFIRA objective is more specific than most: identify the context of food markets facing the target food insecure population and likely behavioral response of key market participants so as to identify the resource most appropriate to the circumstance.
