Published: Jan. 1, 2023

How do non-governmental organizations (NGOs) interact with state authoritarianism to shape disaster response landscapes? The paper attends this question by interrogating the dynamic interplay between entities and NGOs as they collaborated survivors execute recovery reconstruction efforts in aftermath of destructive tropical cyclone Idai, which struck Chimanimani district Zimbabwe March 2019. Drawing upon extensive ethnographic fieldwork conducted 2020 2021, it illustrates how longstanding ambivalent relations evolved shaped post-Idai terrain.On one front, emerged crucial partners, stepping address void left state's insufficient capacity. However, deviations from expectations often blurred allyship into rivalry certain NGOs' depoliticization NGO-ing strategies created conditions that bolstered authoritarianism. findings study hold relevance for researchers, planners, policymakers, NGO practitioners seeking valuable insights impact interagency collaboration on post-disaster environments.

This identifies categorises chain (SHSCM) themes, with particular emphasis on theoretical based categorical analysis articles. thematic reveals sustainability in encompasses wide range aspects, such network configuration, coordination, partnership, performance measurement. However, studies typically do not integrate all dimensions. In particular, social factors are largely absent from current models SHSCM, despite their inherent significance contexts. explains how aspects identified themes impact pose opportunities SHSCM. Insights can support policy-driven directions. These policies achieve greater level management. originality study lies detailed categories studies, its analytical focus SHSCM theories, provide insights researchers conduct impactful topic

Purpose Unfortunately, the occurrence of natural disasters is inevitable all over world. Hence, this paper aims to analyze a scenario-based collaborative problem in relief supply chain (RSC), where nongovernmental organizations can participate activities with governmental organizations. This study focuses on location-allocation, inventory management and distribution planning under uncertain demand, budget, transportation holding costs government private centers receive items from suppliers then send them affected areas. The performance proposed model surveyed real case Dorud. Design/methodology/approach develops nonlinear mixed-integer programming that seeks maximize coverage demand points minimize operating traveled distance. linear programming-metric technique grasshopper optimization algorithm are applied survey model's applicability efficiency. Findings compares noncollaborative cases terms number RSC's goals, demonstrates not only improves but also minimizes cost In fact, presented approach helps governments efficiently surmount problems created after disaster, notwithstanding existing uncertainties, by determining strategic plan for collaboration activities. Originality/value Relief strategies considered previous research have been sufficiently examined perspective provided an develop areas reducing distance despite various uncertainties. authors aim manage RSCs better offering mathematical whose has proved study.

Natural disasters have obvious cross-regional and compound characteristics. Cross-regional emergency cooperation for natural deepens the diversification of coordination relations complexity interaction modes among response organizations, including horizontal vertical organizational interactions. In order to clarify mechanism organizations during explore key factors that affect cooperative relationships in this study, a game model is constructed based on evolutionary theory, which composed local, neighboring, central governments. Then, stability strategy analyzed. On basis, numerical simulation used simulate dynamic evolution trajectory system. The results show there an embedded mutual promotion evolves towards positive combination subjects. selection strategies subjects characteristics consistency following: enhanced efficiency between local neighboring governments, capital stock, shared resources, therefore, guiding social forces actively participate operations. Strengthening dispatching strength government effectiveness central–local dispatching, can support performance disasters. Furthermore, governments will be enhanced.

Intention Global emergencies cause significant damage to lives, assets, and the economy. Therefore, supply of relief goods is essential in emergency contexts, which generally function non-government organizations (NGOs) as they have unique advantages. However, few studies explored influencing factors on NGO efficiency. To systematically explore affecting efficiency, we aim develop a chain model for simulating providing policy suggestions. Method Taking 2020 Hubei COVID-19 case study, this research developed system dynamic (SD) evaluate quantify impact factor changes supplies. Conclusion It was found that transportation information delays aggravated bullwhip effect caused large fluctuations. The initial inventory be decisive reducing shortages disaster areas; however, government support play only limited role delays. Value This study enriches literature provides suggestions guiding supplies future.

Investigating systematic meteorological–agricultural–hydrological drought propagation within an integrated watershed framework is crucial yet challenging for advancing robust early warning systems and targeted resilience strategies. To address this gap, study employs the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), soil moisture (SSMI), nonlinear joint hydrological (NJHDI) to characterize meteorological, agricultural, drought, respectively. Utilizing strongest correlation method, variations in time along movement pathways system are quantified using Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The Yellow River basin (YRB) selected as case area. Key results reveal distinct seasonal patterns meteorological–agricultural across basin, with escalated spring summer timescales. However, weaker correlations limited seasonality emerge agricultural–hydrological linkages due sustaining baseflow buffers. Specifically, arid semiarid region exhibited shorter 1–5 months, while semihumid displayed longer timescales 7–12 months. These findings provide valuable scientific references enhancing real-time tailored coupled systems. methodology underscores importance of unraveling fine-scale spatiotemporal variability localized resilience.

We report an in-depth case study demonstrating Chinese grassroots NGOs' strategies in interactions with the Chengdu government to manage crises. Our found that NGOs applied two via four approaches: passively assisting policy implementation, propagating policies, actively providing professional services delivered unsatisfactorily by government, and developing self-governing initiatives for joint action. Moreover, it shows how dimensions, organisational dimension, internal relationship influence selection of apply governments crisis.
