Carried out in December 2015, this assessment represented the last of three IRC-led pilot assessments intended to test out and generate learning about the PCMMA approach. During scoping consultations, it was agreed that a PCMMA assessment in Mogadishu Somalia was relevant, both to build capacity of national staff in market assessments and to assess the potential to deliver key WaSH and Shelter assistance through local markets. The study focused on NFIs that are typically distributed in-kind in Mogadishu following evictions, including jerry cans, aqua tabs, CGI shelter doors and plastic sheeting. The March 2015 evictions were chosen as the reference crisis because they are representative of the types of mid-size displacements that occur frequently in Mogadishu, prompting humanitarian action.
