Collaborative Governance Mechanisms in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in the Philippines: A Systematic Review

Alinor Chavez Amil

Abstract


This paper conducts a systematic review of collaborative governance mechanisms in disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) in the Philippines. It focuses on four key research questions: 1. What are the key characteristics and frameworks of collaborative governance mechanisms utilized in disaster risk reduction and management in the Philippines? 2. How do different stakeholders collaborate within these governance mechanisms? 3. What metrics can evaluate their effectiveness? and 4. What barriers hinder collaboration and how can they be addressed? Utilizing a comprehensive methodology, this study reviews books from various authors and articles from different journals, synthesizing findings from a diverse range of perspectives. The analysis reveals significant gaps in understanding how various stakeholders—government agencies, NGOs, community organizations, and the private sector—effectively collaborate within DRRM frameworks. Findings underscore the importance of multi-stakeholder participation, shared objectives, and transparency in enhancing community resilience and disaster response. Additionally, the study identifies essential metrics and indicators for evaluating collaborative governance effectiveness and highlights barriers such as communication gaps and organizational silos. Based on the findings, several recommendations are proposed: strengthening multi-stakeholder collaboration through formal networks, implementing systematic evaluation frameworks, enhancing communication and trust-building initiatives, investing in capacity-building programs, adopting a holistic approach to DRRM, promoting community engagement, and advocating for supportive policy development. By addressing these recommendations, stakeholders can enhance collaborative governance mechanisms, ultimately improving disaster risk reduction outcomes and fostering resilient communities capable of effectively responding to natural disasters.
