INTRODUCTION
The Yemen Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI) is led by REACH in collaboration with the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster and the Cash and Market Working Group (CMWG) since 2018. The objective of the JMMI is to support humanitarian actors with the harmonization of market monitoring and to produce information products for evidence based Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) and market-based programming (MBP).
The JMMI tracks the price and availability of all components of the WASH and food Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB), as well as other food and non-food items. In addition, the JMMI monitors the functionality of the markets by assessing the supply chain and vendors’ perceptions of the market and their businesses. This JMMI Situation Overview presents the findings of the data collected in 84 markets of areas controlled by the Government of Yemen (GoY), between 6 - 10 October 2024.
