Institutional scholarship on organizing in poverty contexts has focused the constraining nature of extant institutions and need for external actors to make transformative change interventions alleviate poverty. Comparatively little attention been paid potentially enabling contexts. We argue that more empirical work is needed deepen our understanding self-organizing processes embedded such generate their own efforts survive. Drawing social worlds approach institutional analysis, we shed light how self-organize produce enduring organizational arrangements safeguard themselves against adverse outcomes. Employing data from fieldwork interviews collected urban neighborhood Dagoretti Corner Nairobi, Kenya, examine colocation 105 largely identical auto repair businesses close spatial proximity. find leverage an indigenous institution—the societal ethos Harambee—to enable a process identify as “survivalist organizing.” Based research, survivalist incorporates four interlocking survival mechanisms: cultivating interbusiness solidarity, maintaining precarious relationships, redistributing resources prevent business deaths, generating collective philanthropy avoid personal destitution. develop new research agenda study strengthening rather than supplanting urbanized catalyze self-organizing.

Abstract Although health information systems (HIS) play an important role in elevating standards, a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively implement HIS rural areas is lacking. This issue becomes more significant when considering that globally majority the approximately 1.5 million deaths children under age five 2019 were attributable vaccine‐preventable diseases occurred areas. Accordingly, we ask two questions. How does rurality influence implementation and communication technology for development (ICT4D) projects? do organisations navigate challenges associated with during these Our findings, derived from in‐depth case study social enterprise India, reveal paradoxes pose effective settings: localisation paradox cultural embedding paradox. We found contextually balanced engagement was comprised four organisational responses—prioritising; localising; adjustment; engaging stakeholders—that help posed by paradoxes. Synthesising develop process model shows shaped descriptive sociocultural characteristics rurality. Further, require dynamic approach, multiple responses over time inherent implementation. suggest paradoxical tensions stemming lead e nabled findings contribute ICT4D projects
