Relying on Markets for Shelter Response to Hurricane Matthew in Haiti: an analysis of the iron sheeting market in South and Grand'Anse departments
Mar 15, 2016 | by CRS, USAID
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) conducted an Emergency Market Mapping and Analysis (EMMA) in eight communes in the South and Grand’Anse departments to assess the feasibility of a market-based shelter response. The exercise sought to answer three critical questions related to the market of corrugated galvanized iron (CGI) sheets for roofing: (1) Does the CGI market system have the capacity to meet the needs of the most vulnerable?; (2) What are the constraints in the CGI market system that limit people’s access to sheeting?; and (3) Which types of market-based responses do potential beneficiaries and vendors prefer?
