Table 2. Provincial humanitarian distribution performance followingcyclone Pam (2015)

Province	Median time to reach 50% of affected households (days)	Households reached within 10 days (%)	Households reached within 21 days (%)	Coefficient of variation (coverage inequality)
Torba	18.3	52	73	0.67
Sanma	10.5	70	90	0.45
Penama	9.4	68	87	0.41
Malampa	8.7	72	91	0.38
Shefa	6.2	89	97	0.31
Tafea	11.8	62	84	0.49

Sources: Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA, 2015); Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) rapid assessments; National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) situation reports. The coefficient of variation measures within-province inequality in humanitarian coverage across affected area councils; higher values indicate greater spatial disparity in aid delivery. Data reflect post-Cyclone Pam (2015) response operations as the most comprehensively documented event in the study period.
