Practical Action Consulting is organizing a training on Emergency Market Mapping and Analysis (EMMA) Toolkit in Kathmandu, Nepal on 19-23 March 2012. The training is a five day orientation in use of the EMMA toolkit which will equip participants to understand, analyse and make better use of market system in emergency situations.

The objective of the Emergency Market Mapping and Analysis (EMMA) tool training materials is consistently and reliably to provide trainees with the skills and knowledge required to undertake EMMA in sudden onset emergencies. The use of EMMA should enable field workers to design more appropriate, market centred assessments, monitoring systems and interventions, be they cash-based, in-kind or advocacy led.

Those using the materials should be people who are competent trainers, comfortable with the use of participatory and experiential learning approaches. They will need to be those who have made themselves very familiar with the EMMA Toolkit and have an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the training materials.

It is a five-day workshop, and careful preparation is required in choice of participants, venue and resources required successfully to run the workshop.

It is impossible within five days to bring trainees to a detailed and complete knowledge of the content and workings of the Toolkit, but it will allow them to understand the core and essential purposes, processes and tools used within EMMA. It will inspire them sufficiently to have the confidence to study the Toolkit further after the workshop, and then to use it in the field!
