South Sudan Joint Markets Monitoring Initiative (JMMI) Workshop
The South Sudan Cash Working Group in collaboration with REACH and the CALP Network East and Southern Africa Regional Office will hold a virtual workshop on Enhancing Market Monitoring in South Sudan on February 28, 2024 from 0900hrs EAT.
The South Sudan Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI) plays a crucial role in providing consistent market data concerning the availability and price dynamics of essential goods. This information serves as a guide for market-driven interventions in South Sudan.

The virtual workshop aims to enhance data coverage and quality of the JMMI through increased collaboration with partners. The objectives of the workshop are to:
· Increase Collaboration: To promote increased collaboration among CWG members and with REACH, enhancing the quality and coverage of data collected.
· Empower Decision-Making: To use the insights generated from JMMI data to inform decision-making processes within the CWG and among organizations involved in cash and voucher assistance.
· Share Knowledge: To provide a platform for organizations to share experiences, lessons learned, and best practices in JMMI data collection.
· Address Challenges: To identify and discuss common challenges in the JMMI process and explore strategies to increase CWG members’ involvement in the data collection process.
