When digital aid meets reality
Using digital technologies (e.g., mobile phones, prepaid cards, and bank transfers) as delivery mechanisms in cash-based interventions (CBIs) promises to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian assistance. Yet, our understanding of the relationships between key feasibility requirements (e.g., beneficiaries' documentation, their mobile ownership, and liquidity capacity of financial service providers (FSPs)), and their dynamic impa…
Exploring barriers to circularity in humanitarian supply chains
Nearly 60% of humanitarian assistance is provided as in-kind goods through humanitarian supply chains (HSCs), which can result in waste and adverse environmental impacts. Despite growing interest in circular economy principles, their implementation in humanitarian contexts remains limited. This study identifies and prioritizes barriers to circular HSCs through combining literature review, expert focus groups, and interpretive structural modeling …

Exploring gaps in using digital delivery mechanisms for cash-based assistance in refugee crises
Cash-Based Assistance (CBA) has become the preferred aid modality for refugees when local markets are functioning. Utilising digital delivery mechanisms promises to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of delivering aid to beneficiaries: reaching more people in need quicker with lesser transfer costs. Nevertheless, there is no consensus in the literature and practice regarding which delivery mechanisms could be used in digital CBA, where, whe…
Supporting group decision makers to locate temporary relief distribution centres after sudden-onset disasters
In the humanitarian response, multiple decision-makers (DMs) need to collaborate in various problems, such as locating temporary relief distribution centres (RDCs). Several studies have argued that maximising demand coverage, reducing logistics costs and minimising response time are among the critical objectives when locating RDCs after a sudden-onset disaster. However, these objectives are often conflicting and the trade-offs can considerably co…
Exploring the role of the sharing economy in disasters management
Improvements in information and communications technologies (ICTs) have facilitated the inclusion of the sharing economy (SE) in societies more than ever. In the aftermath of recent disasters, the SE played significant roles to help the affected people and support official responders. However, the literature has not effectively explored these roles, and thus, no framework can support the systematic inclusion of the SE in disasters management. Thi…
