The assessment used the core principles of the household economy approach (HEA) adapting it to enable easier usage through remote technical support and covered two distinct groups, IDPs and host communities. The assessment involved wealth ranking, analysis of commodity volume and price in markets, and an overview of household food, income and expenditure sources as well as capturing the shocks and the relative vulnerability of different groups, with the aim of analysing the risks and opportunities for communities in northern Syria in terms of their ability to access livelihood opportunities and sufficient food.
