These might include  \nemployment, self‐employment, capacity building, education, community engagement, participation, etc.  \nKey Principles  \nWhat are the 3‐6 key principles that will guide our assessment? Describe why they have been selected?  \nThese will help us focus our assessment and direct the subsequent livelihoods work?  \nObjectives  \nWhat will the key programmatic outcomes will the assessment lead to? These will not necessarily be formally measured, but will minimally be used as guidance when analyzing assessment results and planning programing activities.  \nGeography and other Key Selection Criteria  \nWhere do we need/want to assess and what other important relevant criteria should be considered?  \nConstraints and Limitations  \nWhat possible obstacles or challenges might hinder the execution of the assessment including but not limited to funding, time, capacity, community support?  \nLabor Market Assessment – Methodology and Scope Template 1  \nMethodology  \nMethodology helps us understand the how and who of the assessment.  \n1. Tools  \nDescribe what tools will you use and briefly explain the purpose of each.  \n• Business Surveys:    \n______________________________________________________________________________  \n• Key Informant Interviews:    \n______________________________________________________________________________  \n• FGDs:    \n______________________________________________________________________________  \n• Value Chain Mapping:    \n______________________________________________________________________________  \n• PS Mapping:    \n______________________________________________________________________________  \n• Other:  \n________________________________________________________________________  \n2. Team  \nWho will participate on your assessment team? Discuss where they will be recruited from and their connection to the targeted communities. Explore the participatory elements of the assessment, if any.  \n3. Stakeholders  \nWho are the key stakeholders (government actors, private sector, etc. ) and how will their perspectives be incorporated into the assessment?  \n4. Research  \nDescribe what research has been done in advance of the methodology development and what will be completed prior to the field work and analysis. Outline sources (known and potential) from which that research will be drawn.  \nLabor Market Assessment – Methodology and Scope Template 2  \n5. Data Handling and Analysis  \nDescribe how data will be collected and managed from the field work, and the analysis and report writing process that will follow. This should include identifying key roles and responsibilities and a description of the methodology for data collection (paper surveys, tablets, etc. ) .  \n6. Timeline  \nSummarize a timeline and workplan for the project including preparation, field work, analysis, and reporting. If possible, identify key personnel and the role they will fulfill in the project.  \n7. Deliverable  \nSummarize the format and anticipated content of the final report. Include a draft table of contents or an outline of proposed key sections.  \n8. Dissemination Plan  \nOutline, in summary, how you expect the final output to be distributed and utilized. Who will be recipients of the report and what actionable activities do we anticipate to flow from the assessment?  \nC O N T A C T  \nTara Noronha  \nEconomic and Market Development Advisor  \n[tnoronha@mercycorps.org](tnoronha@mercycorps.org)  \nLabor Market Assessment – Methodology and Scope Template 3","cbCaisYBq4fU8zsO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisYBq4fU8zsO","pdf",147896,"English","# Project Scope\n## Program Needs\n## Key Principles\n## Objectives\n## Geography and other Key Selection Criteria\n## Constraints and Limitations\n# Methodology\n## Tools\n## Team\n## Stakeholders\n## Research\n## Data Handling and Analysis\n## Timeline\n## Deliverable\n## Dissemination Plan","[{\"question\":\"What are the five main elements included in an LMA scope?\",\"answer\":\"The template outlines five main scope elements: what the assessment aims to learn, why it is being done, where it will be executed, program needs it supports, and key principles guiding the work.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the methodology section describe data handling and analysis?\",\"answer\":\"It should explain how data will be collected and managed in the field, how analysis will be conducted, and the report-writing process, including roles and responsibilities and the data collection approach (e.g., paper surveys or tablets).\"},{\"question\":\"What should be included in the deliverable and dissemination plan?\",\"answer\":\"The deliverable section should summarize the final report format and anticipated content with a draft table of contents or outline.
