The 2016/17 market assessment study was commissioned to bring out an understanding of how markets will function in 27 districts in the country during the consumption season. The assessment was to identify Traditional Authorities suitable for cash based transfers and those that are suitable for in-kind transfers. Such information is expected to help inform appropriate decisions of the Humanitarian Response Committee, Humanitarian Agencies and donors on whether and where to implement market based interventions or food assistance based interventions to help the people who are at risk of missing food entitlements due the effects of the delayed onset of rains, long dry spells and early cessation of rains.
