METHODOLOGYThe JMMI is designed to provide longitudinal market and price data using REACH’s global JMMI methodology,

initiative, conducted in partnership with the Nigeria CWG, is coordinated through the JMMI Taskforce established for this purpose, which is co-led by REACH and the CWG. On behalf of the taskforce, REACH developed the research design, data collection tools, guidance documents, training materials, analysis, and outputs for the JMMI, as well as drafting the ToR for the taskforce itself, all with iterative input from taskforce

The taskforce members, in turn, worked to develop their own KI networks, coordinate the coverage of the assessment, collect data, and review or endorse all aspects of the research design, as well as potentially taking on some aspects of the training and data cleaning if capacity allows. Data collection is a joint, partner-led exercise carried out by CWG members across the BAY states using a

on quantitative, structured interviews with purposively sampled traders who acted as KIs for their respective markets. Partners focused on interviewing retailers, rather than wholesalers or distributors, as these are the market actors most likely to sell to the vulnerable populations that humanitarian actors generally target. In each assessed location, at least four prices per item should be collected to ensure quality and consistency of the data collected. Data is collected in monthly cycles,
