“…Without having the possibility of conducting a full network analysis, the author of the paper focused on a vertical analysis of the network [39]. "SNA allows to look at the network from the perspective of a comprehensive, specific group of companies and an individual participant" [42]; therefore, a focus on the perspective of HAs and the entire network, to measure relations, was applied. This approach is discussed in the literature as a network level (macro-level) that helps to improve the whole network, and a node and ties level (micro-level) that tends to improve the position of a particular tie [39,40] (there is also a sub-network level (mezzo-level) that concentrates on the specific parts of the network and helps to improve the sub-network in the entire network [40]).…”

The humanitarian sector is responsible for minimizing people’s suffering during humanitarian crises and consists of several groups of stakeholders, who are named humanitarian actors (HAs). They play different integrative and supportive roles; however, intersectoral cooperation is not structured and usually relies on chaos. Thus, this research aimed to answer two questions: (1) what is the level of cooperation of Polish humanitarian organizations with other HAs?; and (2) who could be a leader(s) of humanitarian sector coordination and synchronization, to ensure social sustainability? The research was conducted among 100 Polish humanitarian organizations’ at the turn of the year 2021/2022, with an anonymous survey. The main aim of the paper was to assess the HA cooperation network from the Polish humanitarian organizations’ perspective. To conduct the research, a social network analysis (SNA) was performed. The results suggest a challenge in integrating HAs’ activities. Moreover, their synchronization is hampered by the significant dispersion of activities and the multitude of HAs involved in humanitarian actions. As a result of the SNA, a set of four groups of HAs with different roles were distinguished: a group of leaders, a group of followers, a group of supporters and suppliers, and a group of secondary supporters.
