“…Those that have studied role clarity have not expressly applied CAS theory, yet they acknowledge the complexity and volatility of humanitarian emergencies and corresponding responses (e.g. Cachia and Ramos, 2020; Safarpour et al , 2020; Mutebi et al , 2020a, b; Jabbour et al , 2019; Jensen and Hertz, 2016; Curnin et al , 2015).…”

“…However, Uganda's experience with regard to coordination continues to pose a challenge. A case in point is the influx of South Sudanese refugees into the West Nile region of Uganda, of Congolese refugees into Western Uganda, where the refugees barely receive aid, and even when they receive such aid, many times it arrives late and often from dominant agencies at the expense of others, which evidently have the will but are hampered by limited authorisation to act (Mutebi et al, 2020). Previous scholars have conducted extensive research on coordination and its benefits amongst humanitarian organisations (Kabra and Ramesh, 2015;Moshtari, 2016;Pazirandeh and Maghsoudi, 2018).…”

“…Pursuant to this approach, formal authority, division of tasks and responsibilities, and linking the functions performed are the base of the coordination effectiveness. In turn, the network approach to coordination concerns informal relations, level of tasks decentralization, and dispersion of these tasks [8,[61][62][63]. This approach stems from the current conditions of implementation of activities, according to which no organization operates individually but in networks, and the coordination of joint activities goes beyond traditional, intra-organizational, hierarchical mechanisms.…”

“…Hence, the ability to combine individual organization goals and the ability to focus not only on one's own tasks but also on the tasks of the entire network is the starting point for common task design. To achieve the shared goals in emergency management networks, a division of roles, and the resulting tasks between cooperating organizations is needed [8,37,61,62,65]. These two mechanisms constitute the basis for dealing with chaos, doubling, or discontinuity of activities.…”
