- Domains of change defined by the Markets and Livelihoods Programme strategy:
- Changes in the capacity of marginalised producers to engage with other market actors.
- Changes in the ways in which marginalised producers perceive themselves as market actors.
- Domains of change defined by Practical Action's strategy:
- Changes in the access of marginalised producers to technologies that contribute to their participation in a particular market system.
When you are asking people about these domains, I recommend that you always bear in mind the three dimensions of the market map and dig deep around them:
- The market chain: set of steps that bring a product to the final consumer.
- The service providers: actors who provide services and inputs (e.g. seeds, fertilisers and tools) to market chain actors.
- The business environment: the issues and factors that affect how market chain actors and service providers interact and make business (e.g. legislation, roads, telecommunications, physical environment, and business culture).

A. On the second domain of change the question about 'perceptions' leaves it very open to interpretation by those telling their stories as to what changes are relevant to the domain. The first domain is much clearer here. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but needs an eye kept on exactly what we want to learn in this domain
B. Similarly the third domain about technologies is very much dependant on different interpretations as to what technologies are - are they just bits of kit, or do they include skills, knowledge, methods etc?
