Report from the first Markets Learning Event, in Oxford

Hosted by Oxfam, the first Markets Learning Event presented one of the earliest opportunities to bring together a wide range of actors concerned with markets to discuss the scope of market work. The event focused on sharing experiences and learning around three key areas; market assessment, market analysis and market responses, including support to markets and market-based programming. The Market Learning Event aimed to promote the appropriate use of market analysis and market based programming in humanitarian contexts through the consideration of the current and potential engagement with markets.

The event set out to answer the following questions:

  • What are we doing today in relation to humanitarian programming and research?
  • What should we be aiming for?
  • What have we learnt in terms of challenges and solutions?
  • What do we need to do now and what is the priority?
