Guidance for Assessing Resilience in Market Systems

It outlines a process for qualitatively assessing the resilience of a market system, drawing from guidance for assessing resilience in different social-ecological systems and recent tools that focus on MSR assessment. The document is divided into four sections, including an introduction, a discussion of the concept of MSR, a process for assessing MSR, and a conclusion. The guidance is intended for USAID missions and implementing partners, particularly monitoring and evaluation specialists and teams conducting scoping analyses that will feed into program design.
