“…This study also suggests we can build resilient nonprofit systems and networks capable of coping with large scale disasters like the COVID‐19 pandemic by investing in collaborative capacity before crises occur, supporting crisis communication planning in nonprofit organizations, clear communication with partners during and post‐crisis, and, most importantly, addressing robust nonprofit governance. This study reaffirms previous findings on the importance of collaboration and collaborative capacity in effectively dealing with crisis (Dimitrijevska‐Markoski et al, 2021 ; Hocevar et al, 2006 ; Hu et al, 2014 ; Kapucu, 2006 , 2007 ; Kapucu et al, 2011 ). Like its public sector counterpart, more work is needed on nonprofit governance strategies to account for turbulence, in both social environments and crises, where agendas, functions, challenges, and threats can be realized (Ansell et al, 2021 ; Howlett et al, 2018 ).…”

The coronavirus pandemic (COVID‐19) had detrimental health and economic impacts on communities across the globe. Consequently, public, profit and nonprofit organizations had to quickly adjust to the new situation and adopt new operating strategies and service delivery mechanisms. This study examines a nonprofit food network in Virginia and the impact of COVID‐19 on food bank services and distribution operations. Guided by the adaptive systems approach, this case study utilizes the Federation of Virginia Food Bank (FVFB) and focuses on operational challenges within the network and the impact of the CARES Act. The data obtained from stakeholder interviews and a survey of local and regional providers suggest communication and adaptive management were crucial in the continuation of network operations. Furthermore, understanding the multifaceted needs of vulnerable individuals, beyond nutrition and food insecurity, is important for nonprofit service partners in a network. The study proposes a conceptual framework for effective operations in a nonprofit network during crisis and highlights the need to create collaborative capacity.

“…Determinant frameworks are widely used in implementation science and generally seek to explain outcomes of implementation processes, by investigating determinants related to the object/intervention itself, users/adopters, end-users, context and implementation strategy (Nilsen, 2015). The study by Dimitrijevska-Markoski et al (2021), builds a conceptual framework for assessing determinants of SIB implementation. It primarily builds on newer strings of implementation theory (May, 2013).…”

“…This study is inspired by the categories developed by Dimitrijevska-Markoski et al (2021). Still, to make the conceptual framework relevant in this research setting, some broader analytical categories have been developed (Nilsen, 2015), and another determinant is added.…”

“…The literature mostly points to the lack of buy-in among public organizations as a barrier. Reasons relate to a lack of project ownership, low openness to change, clashes with values or practices among front-line workers and increased workloads Robinson, 2018;Dimitrijevska-Markoski et al, 2021;Kennedy, 2022;FitzGerald et al, 2021;Fraser et al, 2021;Gadenne et al, 2020;George et al, 2020). In the Mayday Inspire SIB, a large restructuring of the commissioner organization challenged their commitment to the SIB project (Robinson, 2018).…”

“…The study of implementation processes constitutes a critical part of SIB research because of the model's high complexity and ambiguity. Despite this, there is currently limited theorization of SIB implementation (Dimitrijevska-Markoski et al ., 2021) and empirical evidence across studies remains fragmented. Academic insights from this field can also qualify broader discussions regarding public-private partnerships (Hodge and Greve, 2021) and implementation of public policies (Hudson et al ., 2019).…”

PurposeThis study investigates barriers to social impact bond (SIB) implementation through a review of academic and gray literature. A SIB is a type of public policy instrument that leverages payment for performance (P4P), contracting together with private investments in the delivery of welfare programs. Outcome-based contracts, such as SIBs, are gaining attraction for public service providers in developed countries, but research regarding their implementation remains underexplored both empirically and theoretically.Design/methodology/approachA literature review is conducted in which two types of documents are included: (1) empirical research papers and (2) evaluations of completed SIB projects. In total, 43 documents have been investigated. The study engages in a comparative design where insights across sectors (healthcare, social care and employment/education), are leveraged. The insights rest on evidence from the UK and US.FindingsThe investigation reveals five types of barriers to SIB implementation related to: (1) the SIB model, (2) organizational competencies, (3) data infrastructure, (4) stakeholder engagement and (5) the institutional context. The study discusses ways of managing these barriers and develops a conceptual framework for empirically investigating SIB implementation.Originality/valueThis study is the first academic paper to systematically assess insights regarding the implementation of SIBs. Also, the article proposes a conceptual framework for investigating SIB implementation.
