摘要

目的热带气旋在津巴布韦日益增加的威胁对于确定人道主义供应链风险的一般来源和评估其对救援行动的负面影响具有重要意义。很少有研究整理出这样的证据来加强南部非洲的人道主义供应链。考虑到这一点,本研究探索了向津巴布韦“伊代”飓风受害者提供人道主义援助过程中供应链风险的零散证据。这些数据与相关出版物、博客和报纸的次要信息进行了三角测量,以反映所调查现象的真相。调查结果表明,“伊代”气旋救灾行动受到社会、经济和政治/政府风险因素的不利影响。与此同时,基础设施差或不足以及环境因素也是造成人道主义救济行动徒劳无功的因素。实际意义这项研究具有重要意义,因为它努力为人道主义供应链管理做出贡献,特别是帮助人道主义组织制定建议的战略,使人道主义救援供应链更有弹性。然而,还需要对所建议的框架的优化实施策略进行更多的研究。原创性/价值据这些研究人员所知,这是一项独特的研究,旨在研究津巴布韦“伊代”飓风救援行动中的人道主义供应链风险因素。

Supply chain risks in humanitarian relief operations: a case of Cyclone Idai relief efforts in Zimbabwe
PurposeThe rising threat of tropical cyclones in Zimbabwe is of great importance in establishing the general sources of humanitarian supply chain risks and assessing their negative impact on relief operations. There is a scarcity of studies that collate such evidence toward enhanced humanitarian supply chains in Southern Africa. With this in mind, this study explored scattered evidence on supply chain risks in the delivery of humanitarian aid to victims of Cyclone Idai in Zimbabwe.Design/methodology/approachThis reflective study evaluates supply chain risks associated with Cyclone Idai humanitarian relief operations through qualitative in-depth interviews with relevant actors in the field. The data were triangulated with secondary information from associated publications, blogs and newspapers to reflect the truth about the phenomena under investigation.FindingsThe results show that Cyclone Idai disaster response operations were adversely affected by social, economic and political/governmental risk factors. In the same breath, poor or inadequate infrastructure and environmental factors were also contributing factors toward the futility of humanitarian relief operations.Practical implicationsThis study is significant as it endeavors to contribute toward humanitarian supply chain management, specifically in assisting humanitarian organizations with suggested strategies that would work toward making humanitarian relief supply chains more resilient. However, more research needs to be done toward optimized implementation strategies for the suggested framework.Originality/valueIt is to the best knowledge of these researchers that this is a unique study carried out to examine humanitarian supply chain risk factors in Cyclone Idai relief operations in Zimbabwe.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
