ABSTRACT

In this chapter we will focus on how to capture the economic situation in a specific region prior, during or after a humanitarian crisis, if one is not able to do very extensive research and a quick overview of the economic situation is needed. We will do this by describing a set of dimensions related to economic development on a national, regional and local level. This overview will then be part of the overall Comprehensive Context Analysis that can be created after reading and applying all context chapters of this book.
