, 13/10/2010 - This training manual provides a generic overview of a ‘price and market analysis’ as an integral part of a comprehensive food security programme initiated by FEWS NET and SIFSIA North. The main target is to provide a basic understanding of markets’ issues in relation to food security and livelihoods development as part of food security and vulnerability analysis and show further how to conduct response analysis and design mitigation options and/or alternative. Therefore, the focus in this marketing-food security concern is to enable analysts to understand how markets could affect food availability and how they could influence access to food.
