Abstract

The world faces significant challenges, particularly in low-income countries, where cross-sector partnerships strive to create positive social change. Operating under severe uncertainty, these partnerships encounter various disturbances threatening their progress. Despite these challenges, our study explores the resilience strategies that these partnerships use to foster positive social change, an area previously underexplored. Our study uses a qualitative multiple-case study of four cross-sector partnerships in sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, we collected data via interviews, workshops, and archival sources and used thematic analysis to uncover key resilience strategies. Our findings reveal a cyclical process where, when facing disturbances, cross-sector partnerships respond with resilience strategies that help them mitigate disruptions, adapt to changing conditions, and continue expanding their positive impact. In doing so, they drive positive social change through core activities within their socio-ecological system. This research expands existing theories of organizational resilience by highlighting how cross-sector partnerships in low-income contexts can not only survive, but also expand their impact of positive social change, through resilience.

在发展中国家应对干扰:跨部门伙伴关系的复原战略
世界面临着重大挑战,特别是在低收入国家,这些国家的跨部门伙伴关系努力创造积极的社会变革。这些合作伙伴关系在严重的不确定性下运作,会遇到各种威胁其进展的干扰因素。尽管面临这些挑战,我们的研究还是探讨了这些伙伴关系为促进积极的社会变革所采用的复原策略,而这一领域以前还没有得到充分的探索。我们的研究对撒哈拉以南非洲的四个跨部门伙伴关系进行了多案例定性研究。具体来说,我们通过访谈、研讨会和档案资料收集数据,并使用专题分析来揭示关键的复原战略。我们的研究结果揭示了一个循环过程,即当面临干扰时,跨部门合作伙伴关系会采取复原战略,帮助他们减轻干扰,适应不断变化的条件,并继续扩大其积极影响。在此过程中,他们通过社会生态系统中的核心活动推动积极的社会变革。这项研究扩展了现有的组织复原力理论,强调了低收入环境中的跨部门伙伴关系如何通过复原力不仅生存下来,而且扩大其对积极社会变革的影响。
