ABOUT THE PROJECT
Saving lives, alleviating suffering, and protecting dignity is the core principle of any Islamic Relief's humanitarian actions and is clearly expressed as one of the four (4) global goals of Islamic Relief -- that is to ensure to respond effectively to humanitarian emergencies, that said, we aim to reduce the humanitarian impact of conflict and disasters caused by natural hazards.
Islamic Relief Philippines' humanitarian actions shall endeavour to contribute to improved resiliency of armed conflict-affected people through recovery efforts to ensure that they thrive- to build forward better and safer, amid difficulties. Thus, project THRIVE (Thrive to Build Forward Better and Safer).
THRIVE is a humanitarian- and recovery-related project funded by Islamic Relief Canada. The primary purpose of the project is to support the economic recovery, protection, and wellbeing of internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to armed conflict in selected towns and/or villages in the Province of Maguindanao, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
One of the project objectives is to pilot a sound market analysis as an essential and integral part of response analysis to inform humanitarian programme design because markets play a vital role in the lives of displaced persons and their host communities.
This study aims to significantly contribute to available literature and analysis on pre-and post-crisis market analysis that is useful for market-based and livelihood programming in a post-conflict context and development projects. Thus, Islamic Relief Philippines will have a better understanding of market and livelihoods context in armed conflict-affected areas. This then will inform and shape the humanitarian (and development) responses of the crisis-affected population vis-à-vis market strengthening and livelihood protection.
Further, the analysis aims to contribute to enhancing the plans, policies, projects, programmes, and services of the government, the humanitarian and development actors in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
