Summary
The Market Environment Assessment is part of the inter-sectorial feasibility assessment conducted by WFP to determine which transfer modality is the most adequate for the beneficiaries. The main question that the assessment aims at answering is if the markets in the targeted areas are functional and can absorb an increased demand and respond to market shocks due, among other, to natural hazards. It also aims at understanding possible secondary impacts of the injection of cash in the economy. At the same time the study wants to identify possible challenges and opportunities linked to the introduction of cash based transfers for both beneficiaries and the local economy. Finally, the Market Environment Assessment is looking at farmers and what the main constrains to connect them to markets and improve their wellbeing are.
