Since 2010 the Darfur Development and Reconstruction Agency (DRA) has been implementing and managing a community-based market monitoring and trade analysis (MMTA) project in Darfur, with advisory support from Tufts University/Feinstein International Center. The overall project goal is to deepen analysis and understanding of the shifting patterns of trade and markets in Darfur, on an ongoing basis, for key agricultural and livestock commodities, in order to: a) Inform and influence programming to support livelihoods; b) Identify opportunities for peace-building through trade; c) Prepare for the eventual recovery of Darfur’s economy, for which trade will be a crucial engine.
