This template is a practical, ready-made layout for building an EMMA-style market system map in Microsoft Word. It provides a visual framework to map the market chain (initial actors, intermediaries, final buyers/consumers), the supporting services and infrastructure (inputs, transport, finance, extension, storage, etc.), and the wider market environment (institutions, rules, norms, and trends). The template also includes clear drawing instructions (how to copy/edit shapes, connect actors with arrows, use colors and line styles to show different relationships, and resize the canvas for reports), plus a simple symbol key to flag critical issues and disruptions—making it easier to analyze how a shock or emergency affects market functionality and where responses could best restore supply, access, and resilience.
