Coordination as the flagship to the efficacy of humanitarian aid: Research on the influence of different coordination types on the efficacy of humanitarian aid operations in Africa
Annually, global populations need humanitarian aid due to various crises. Whilst numerous actors aim to provide assistance in these critical situations, this aid is often deemed ineffective due to duplication of efforts and a failure to ensure that all individuals in need are reached. This research aims to raise awareness of the significance of coordination in this field, as well as setting the stage for further research of issues and potential solutions within this policy domain. While “Coordination” is a widely accepted term that is regarded as a comprehensive solution, it lacks specificity regarding the type of coordination required. This research uses a meta‐evaluation to contend that despite extensive research on coordination within humanitarian interventions, there is still considerable room for improvement in this area. The findings, drawing on evaluations of humanitarian assistance in Africa, indicate that the success of coordination efforts varies depending on the type of coordination employed. They emphasize that humanitarian coordination positively impacts effectiveness, but this influence is contingent on the operationalization of the concept and the presence of various conditional factors. Several recommendations follow from these findings, including improvements on information exchange, short‐ and long‐term strategies and joint resource mobilization.
期刊介绍:
Since its founding in 1949, Public Administration and Development (PAD) has been reviewing and assessing the practice of public administration at the local, regional, national and international levels where it is directed to managing development processes in low and medium income countries. It gives special attention to investigations of the management of all phases of public policy formulation and implementation which have an interest and importance beyond a particular government and state. PAD has a particular interest in the link between public administration practice and management research and provides a professional and academic forum for reporting on new experiences and experiments. PAD also publishes articles on development management research in the NGO sector. It is widely read by academics and practitioners alike, including consultants, donors and policy advisers. With its case study approach, it is also frequently used for teaching and training purposes.
