“…Due to a lack of consensus in the academic community regarding classification of FBOs (De Vita & Wilson, 2001;Ebaugh et al, 2003;Jeavons, 1998;Smith & Sosin, 2001;Unruh, 2001), I categorized organizations as FBOs based on the organization's present-day self-identification as faith-based or secular, which was confirmed again orally during the interview process. Because of the underrepresentation of non-Christian FBOs in the USAID 2005 VolAg report, additional participants were contacted in each country based on religious identity.…”

Some argue faith-based organizations (FBOs) provide desirable moral or spiritual components to health and human service provision, and that services are more effective due to staff's more supportive approach. However, the majority of research has been conducted in the United States, and has focused on the experiences of Christian FBOs. This article examines the benefits that FBO staff in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lebanon, and Sri Lanka believe religious identity brings to the work of their organizations, based on interviews with more than 100 staff of Buddhist, Catholic, Druze, Orthodox Christian, Protestant Christian, Shiite Muslim, and Sunni Muslim FBOs, as well as secular NGOs. The interview data indicate that staff members from most of the religious traditions included in the study believe the faith orientation of their organization brings benefits to their service provision. However, these perceived benefits differ based on country context. Some of these benefits are similar to those often mentioned in the literature on FBOs in the United States; however, other benefits are quite different than those discussed in the US literature.

“…NGOs are integral to disaster response and recovery through the services they provide, the resources they bring to bear, their local knowledge and relationships, and their professional expertise (Acosta et al, 2013; Kapucu, 2007; Klindt, 2010; Sledge & Thomas, 2019). Some of the activities in which NGOs often engage include debris removal, sheltering, solicitation and management of donations, recruitment and management of volunteers, provision of child care, sanitation, medical and dental services, advocacy, case management, reconstruction, and legal and financial assistance (e.g., De Vita & Kramer, 2008; Phillips et al, 2008; Towe et al, 2017).…”

Conceptualizing State Voluntary Aid Organizations in Disaster (SVOAD) effectiveness

Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOADs) exist at the national, state, regional, and local levels as a platform for sharing information and supporting coordination among nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that support disaster response and recovery efforts in the United States. These entities are described as important in disaster response and recovery policy and plans and in disaster scholarship. Yet, virtually no research has explicitly examined these entities at any level. This research began to address this gap in the literature by exploring what State VOAD (SVOAD) effectiveness meant to current and past SVOAD chairs through semi‐structured interviews. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze data gathered. The result of this analysis is a grounded definition of SVOAD effectiveness and identification of its dimensions. This manuscript presents the definition and the evidence that supports it and discusses how this information may be applied to support practice and future research.
