Negative impact from pandemic of COVID-19 suffered the whole world. Either its government or non-government sectors, all of these has been critically challenged by the pandemic. To understand the situation better, we had systematically reviewed existing academic articles from all around the world to discover what is the roles played by the NGOs in facing the pandemic and also the strategies used by them for community development during the pandemic. The existing articles with different research approaches had reported four categories of roles played by the NGOs including (1) a consultant on health awareness; (2) basic necessities provider; (3) training provider for NGOs in pandemic related skills; and (4) educator for COVID-19 awareness. As for the strategies, there are three strategies used in by the NGOs in facing the pandemic including: (1) an innovative technology approach; (2) collaboration for coordination; and (3) capital raising through funding. These roles and strategies slightly differ from existing roles of NGOs as it focusses more on managing the pandemic among the community as well. Nevertheless, further research is needed to explore more on how collaboration between government and NGOs can improved the community development.

PurposeThis study investigates the behaviour of family firms, family management and family ownership regarding their socioemotional wealth (Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)) during the COVID-19 pandemic and according to their slack resources availability.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a multiple regression analysis to analyse 245 firm-year observations from 2020 to 2021.FindingsFamily firms have a negative effect on CSR, as do family management and family ownership. Slack resources (both absorbed and unabsorbed) reduce the negative effect of family firms (and family ownership) on CSR. Unabsorbed slack resources reduce the negative effect of family management on CSR and absorbed slack resources increase the negative effect of family management on CSR. The results are robust with various measurements of slack resources. Extra analyses reveal that family commissioner has no effect on CSR.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first empirical study to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on the preservation of socioemotional wealth in family firms. This study proves the theoretical argument of prior studies that the preservation of socioemotional wealth in family firms during the COVID-19 pandemic depends on their financial condition. The study also proves that there are different attitudes among family ownership, family management and family firms concerning the use of slack resources for socioemotional wealth preservation that have not been analysed by previous research.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic, even as it moves into the endemic phase, creates economic repercussions including job loss or reduction in time worked, and these problems hit low-income and marginalized communities especially hard (ADB, 2020;Lau et al, 2021;Suthar et al, 2020). Wastewater surveillance can address these problems by reducing the need for broadly applied stay-at-home policies, as it can pinpoint community infection more narrowly and lead to more specific locational and community protections and prevention of viral spread (Daughton, 2020).…”

Wastewater surveillance could serve as a pandemic early warning system for COVID‐19 and beyond

Wastewater-based surveillance can be used as an early warning system to identify COVID-19 outbreaks because the viral load can be observed in sewage before it is clinically verified. Wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 can trace the transmission dynamics of infection in communities when using the scale of a wastewater diversion and treatment system. Using this early detection method can help protect human health and mitigate socio-economic losses. It can help quantify the epidemiological data of a given population in real-time and circumvent the need for other epidemiological indicators. There are challenges in using this technique in areas with underdeveloped sewerage infrastructure. It is especially the case in developing nations where uniform protocols for viral detection are lacking, and wastewater is heterogeneous because of environmental and operational conditions. This article explains the need for and importance of wastewater-based surveillance for SARS-CoV-2. It lays out the most recent methodological approaches for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in municipal wastewater and outlines the main challenges associated with wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE). The article includes a case study of surveillance work across India to demonstrate how a developing nation manages research and locational challenges. The socio-economic, ethical, and policy dimensions of WBE for SARS-CoV-2 are also discussed.
