Intended audience

• World Food Programme (WFP)

• Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)

• Government Departments (Department of Agriculture)

• Civil Society

• Community Organisations

• Red Cross Societies

• Logistics Teams

Influence on humanitarian decisions

The map will inform logistical decisions by government and NGOs on where food distribution requirements are not currently being met

Methods

The map is produced by identifying the number of beneficiaries against the total number of households by each island.

This will require survey data on the distribution of food which will generate a number of requirements for additional metadata to support map production. These are the temporal elements (date of collection, date of publication, frequency), the geographic elements (coverage, sampling frame) and the quality elements (modelling approach, uncertainty, confidence intervals).

Data

• Administrative boundaries

• Population and household survey/census data

• MIRA survey data on beneficiaries and total distribution

• Cyclone track data
