MSR Kenya

More Info

Market Systems Resilience (MSR) addresses the capacity of market systems to absorb, adapt, or transform in the face of these shocks and stresses. The Resilience Measurement of Market Systems in Kenya (RMS-Kenya) research team applied the MSR Framework to the livestock and mango market systems in Isiolo and Makueni counties of Kenya. The Framework uses eight domains to assess the resilience capacity of a market system. Four of the domains consider the structural characteristics of a market system: connectivity, diversity, power, and rule of law. Another four of the domains consider the behavioral characteristics of a market system: competition, cooperation, decision-making, and business strategy. The team conducted an assessment of the applicability of the MSR framework when applied to two very different market systems, impacted by different shocks and stresses. This report provides the methodology of applying the framework in practical contexts in Kenya, including field-based data collection approaches and motivations and pivots made by the team in each phase. Findings are Drawing on the field research, lessons pertaining to the application of the MSR Framework in other contexts have been captured in a stand-alone Application Guide.
