The Price Monitoring, Analysis and Response Kit (MARKit) was developed to guide practitioners through the steps to monitor markets during the implementation of food assistance programs. It includes guidance…
- on price monitoring and analysis,
- to ensure we’re “Doing No Harm” to local markets, and
