Available Secondary Data Note to facilitators: [Add real or mock secondary data here to provide context and FS conditions that are “driving” the supposed FS assessment and the need for a trader survey. Workshop organisers should discuss the most appropriate and useful scenario for the exercise and add data here. These include, for example: Major findings from an NGO nutritional survey showing increasing moderate (and/or severe) malnutrition rates in the urban areas where the Day four market visit will be conducted Extreme weather changes (e.g. drought) and/or rumors of crop failures New displacements of poor to the urban areas where the Day four market visit will be conducted] WFP Markets Learning Programme Trader Survey Training
