This assessment applies learning from that experience to the South Sudanese context with the aim of supporting more effective, timely and appropriate responses to slow onset recurrent crisis via a pre-crisis market analysis. The target population of this assessment is the people who are most affected by drought, floods, and insecurity in Gogrial East County of Warrap State and Wau County of Western Bahr el Ghazal. The study focused on the agricultural labor market system, as labor is a critical factor for cultivation during the cropping season (essential for medium-term food security) and one of the main sources of income and food for the poor and very poor members of the community. For this assessment, 2010 was taken as the normal year and 2011 was considered as the emergency year.
