Resumen
Descripción
This desk study is designed to assist WFP and other humanitarian agencies in
understanding markets as they relate to emergencies, particularly the assessment of the impacts
of emergencies and food aid deliveries on local commodity markets. In this work, we will focus
on the impact of actual food commodity distribution on commodity markets, one of the most common
emergency response alternatives. However, the report widens the debate to assist humanitarian
agencies in seeing the link between actions taken by and with households and individuals during
and after an emergency, the effects those actions have on markets, but also effects that market
structure and performance may have in mitigating food insecurity.
