2. Lecture Overview: 2 Multiple approaches to market assessments vary by: Objectives Approaches Users Audiences (sometimes) Methodology Briefly examine: Oxfam – EMMA WFP – EFSA and CFSVA FEWs – Market Assessment and Analysis Tradeoffs across approaches

3. Various Approaches to Market Analysis EMMA, CFSVA/EFSA, FEWS Net, MIFIRA (and other techniques) share common elements.
