About the study

The study uses the Market System Resilience Index (MSRI), an approach developed to assess and promote the inclusion of all relevant actors within a market system (Choptiany, et al., 2021) and assess their resilience, to analyse market system resilience in Nampula and Cabo Delgado Provinces. The market actors defined in this approach are Input Suppliers, Retailers, Output Markets and Households. These actors interact between them and feed the market system. 

The Market System Resilience Index is built based on a scoring process with values ranging between 0 and 5. The results of the study show that the MSRI is 2.61 for households and 2.75 for market actors. These results are not sufficient to define whether the status is good or bad but can be used as a baseline index.
