A bridged government–NGOs relationship in post-earthquake reconstruction: the Ya’an service center in Lushan earthquake

Nonprofit and public sector interorganizational collaboration in disaster recovery: Lessons from the field

“…This approach allowed for the interchange of inductive and deductive methods of analysis (Eisenhardt, ). A qualitative methodology was justified due to the limited previous empirical research exploring collaboration between nonprofit and public sector organizations specifically in the recovery phase of emergency management (Jung et al, ; Xu et al, ). This article followed recommendations provided by Ospina, Esteve, and Lee () to ensure qualitative methodological rigor.…”

“…The importance of partnerships has led to the identification of administrative arrangements that also encourage the formation of collaborative relationships. Scholars in China have recently identified that a “bridged platform” in the recovery phase, where one independent organization acts as a conduit between organizations in the other sectors, created a more appropriate environment for nonprofit and public sector collaboration in the disaster recovery efforts (Xu, Xu, Lu, & Wang, ). A theoretical paper by Tatham and Kovács () that explored collaboration in the context of the humanitarian aid supply networks identified the importance of preestablished interorganizational structures and relationships.…”

Participatory child-centered disaster risk reduction education: an innovative Chinese NGO program

“…Sichuan province, which is an active quake-prone area that experienced the devastating 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2013 Lushan earthquake, emphasizes school DRR education and has welcomed the involvement of NGOs in postearthquake reconstruction (Xu et al, 2018). Because the OF is resource-rich, has been long engaged in child DRR education and has a history of outstanding performances in previous earthquakes, following the 2013 Lushan earthquake, it was invited to develop its PCC-DRR education program in Ya'an (Lu and Li, 2020).…”

Adaptive governance and community resilience to cyclones in coastal Bangladesh: Addressing the problem of fit, social learning, and institutional collaboration

“…A few key lessons can be drawn from the findings of this research that have direct policy implications for disaster prone communities in general and coastal communities in particular, in Bangladesh and elsewhere. First, formal institutions in many regions are increasingly taking responsibility for reducing risk and enhancing resilience at the local level (Espia & Fernandez, 2015;McEwen et al, 2018;Xu et al, 2018;Xu et al, 2017). The goal of such interventions is to reduce dependency on external assistance and build local capacity (Imperiale & Vanclay, 2020b).…”
