INTRODUCTION
Since 24 February 2022, the full-scale war across Ukraine has prompted mass displacement and humanitarian crisis. Given the prominence of multi-purpose cash as a modality for assistance, market monitoring is a key initiative to ensure humanitarian intervention is effective, sustainable and does not harm local markets.
Due to the ongoing full-scale war in Ukraine, humanitarian market data is limited and incomplete, especially from conflict-affected areas. The Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI) seeks to fill this information gap by providing useful and timely data on price trends and market functionality indicators.
Marketplaces across Ukraine are assessed on a monthly basis. In each location, field teams record prices and other market indicators through retailer and customer key informant (KI) interviews that characterize monthly changes in the local markets.
The goal of the JMMI is to: track prices and availability of basic commodities in Ukraine markets on a monthly basis; assess the impact of the current humanitarian crisis on market systems in Ukraine; contribute to a broader understanding of the market environment in Ukraine for the benefit of humanitarian actors across all sectors.
