6. Available Secondary Data
Note to facilitators:
[Add real or mock secondary data here to provide context and FS conditions that are “driving” the supposed FS assessment and the need for a trader survey. Workshop organisers should discuss the most appropriate and useful scenario for the exercise and add data here. These include, for example:
Major findings from an NGO nutritional survey showing increasing moderate (and/or severe) malnutrition rates in the urban areas where the Day four market visit will be conducted
Extreme weather changes (e.g. drought) and/or rumors of crop failures
New displacements of poor to the urban areas where the Day four market visit will be conducted]
