Development and humanitarian workers are frequently required to respond to disasters both natural and manmade, from floods to conflict. This training is a five day orientation in use of the EMMA toolkit. It will equip participants to understand, analyse and make better use of market systems in emergency situations. Emergencies often cause damage to market functions and trade networks. These problems can be made worse by inappropriate humanitarian responses. Programming based on EMMA recommendations can reduce aid dependency, promote long term recovery and increase the stability of local markets that provide people with goods, services and sources of income. The EMMA toolkit was developed by Practical Action Consulting for Oxfam GB and the International Rescue Committee. By using this toolkit, non-technical staff can collect market and economic livelihood information that is needed to identify opportunities and inform decision makers.
What is the EMMA Toolkit?
- The EMMA toolkit is a manual of tools and guidance notes, designed to assist front line humanitarian staff in sudden onset emergencies to better understand and make use of market systems
- It is suitable for use in early stages of response
- It does not rely on users having specialist economic or market analysis skills
- It is broad in scope: addressing survival needs, livelihood protection and the transition to economic
recovery
