In addition inferential statistics also used for correlation and linear regression. The majority of the respondents showed that the humanitarian supply chain performance was moderate. The relationship of factors were tested by using Pearson correlation and the research question were tested using regression analysis. On the effect on the mentioned factors on supply chain performance, the study found that external rules and regulation has more effect on Humanitarian supply chain performance on the organization following by socio-economic and infrastructure while internal policy and procedure has the least effect compared to the others. The study recommended some of the factors such as market instability, security issue, government restriction and infrastructure require policy level advocacy, while others including some elements of infrastructure, internal policy and others require more investment in systems and more budgetary allocation from donors.
