Session Objectives
• Promote better understanding of the role of
markets in CTP
• Share about some tools and approaches on
market analysis
Exercise: What is a “market system”?
• Lets think about
the RICE that we
had for lunch
today!
• Lets identify
what and who is
part of that
market system?
Reflection:
• What is your observation about the activity?
• What is your understanding about the market system?
• Who are the key actors and stakeholders?
• Imagine that a major disaster happens, what do you think will happen?
• How will this understanding reflect in your analysis of the situation?
• How can this contribute in designing your response?
Markets in a crisis: Why are they important?
Ensuring survival:
• Providing essential items or services to meet basic
needs
Protecting livelihoods:
• Providing tools, agricultural inputs and services, or
replacing other livelihood assets
• Providing jobs and opportunities for casual labour,
or linking to buyers for sale of own production
Ensure early recovery
Market system: Definition
• A market system is a network of producers,
suppliers, traders, employers, employees, buyers,
and consumers.
• All are involved in producing, exchanging, and
consuming a particular item or service.
• The system includes various forms of
infrastructure, input providers, and services.
• It operates within the context of the rules and
norms that shape this system’s particular business
environment
Market Mapping
Market chain
• Who are the main actors involved and identify the flows
Infrastructure, services, inputs
• What are the infrastructures, services and inputs supporting the functioning of this market
Institutions, rules, norms, trends
• What laws, rules, etc. govern determine who is in the market and how are people engaging and who is benefiting
Examples of Market Mapping
Mapping the impact of a shock
on a market map
• Shocks affects how a market operates and
in doing so they have an impact on the
ability of poor people to make a livelihood
or access their basic needs
