Rapid Assessment for Markets (RAM) (IFRC)
Short description
The RAM is an instrument designed for humanitarian practitioners with limited market expertise and time to develop a rapid and basic understanding of key markets within the first few days after a shock. The results of the RAM should then feed into the initial response options analysis enabling operations teams to make informed decisions on the programmes to be implemented and the types and combinations of assistance (goods, cash transfers and/or services) to be delivered.
