This study evaluated the climate-responsive subprojects implemented under the KALAHI-CIDSS Program in the Municipality of San Miguel, Surigao del Sur, specifically in Barangays Libas Gua, Patong, and Barras. The research aimed to assess the projects’ relevance, effectiveness, and contributions to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and 13 (Climate Action) as perceived by community beneficiaries, volunteers, and program implementers. Addressing the empirical gap in evaluating the community-driven development (CDD) approach, the study examined stakeholders’ roles, participation, and perceptions in project planning, decision-making, resource mobilization, and operations related to water systems, drainage canals, flood control structures, and evacuation centers. A mixed-methods research design, integrating descriptive-quantitative and qualitative approaches, was employed. Data were collected from 357 community beneficiaries, 93 volunteers, three (3) program implementers, nine (9) key informants, and 33 focus group participants. Quantitative findings indicated substantial contributions of KALAHI-CIDSS subprojects to SDG 6 and SDG 13, reflecting strong agreement on their effectiveness in enhancing access to safe water and sanitation and in strengthening climate resilience. Qualitative insights revealed that participatory governance, community empowerment, and collaborative resource mobilization were instrumental in sustaining project outcomes, though constraints in funding, technical expertise, and maintenance persisted. Anchored in Community-Driven Development and Sustainable Development theories, the study concludes that KALAHI-CIDSS climate-responsive subprojects substantially strengthen community resilience, promote inclusive local governance, and advance sustainable development in climate-vulnerable rural areas. Enhancing capacity-building initiatives, enforcing environmental safeguards, and ensuring sustained community engagement are recommended to secure the long-term sustainability of the subproject.

ABSTRACT Background In 2015, Tanzania joined the Global Financing Facility (GFF), a global health initiative for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH-N). Despite its resource mobilization goals, little is known about power dynamics in GFF policy processes. This paper presents the first power analysis of Tanzania’s GFF engagement. Objective To examine policy processes in developing GFF documents during its first two phases in Tanzania. Methods An exploratory qualitative case study using document reviews (*n* = 22) and key informant interviews (*n* = 21) conducted in 2022–2023. Data were thematically analyzed and interpreted using Gaventa’s power cube (levels, spaces, and forms of power). Results Stakeholders praised the GFF’s country-led, evidence-based approach and local autonomy. However, closed-door decision-making in phase one excluded civil society and the private sector. Invisible power imbalances in funding allocations left stillbirths and adolescent health without dedicated budgets, while vulnerable groups (e.g. people with disabilities) were overlooked. Disbursement-linked indicators emphasized measurable outcomes, reflecting visible power. Phase two showed adaptive learning, with improved inclusivity. Conclusion While government-led, global actors (e.g. World Bank, donors) heavily influenced decisions. Greater civil society engagement is needed for accountability. Future efforts must address power imbalances through meaningful citizen participation to strengthen RMNCAH-N services.

This study presents an integrated framework combining the knowledge-based view (KBV) and resource mobilization theory, positioning Appropriate Technology (ATech) as a mediating mechanism that explains how Knowledge Integration Capability (KIC) translates into Circular Economy (CE) outcomes. Unlike prior studies emphasizing high-tech and capital-intensive solutions, this research demonstrates how local knowledge integration enables sustainability through cost-effective ATech adoption in resource-constrained SMEs. Using PLS-SEM with bootstrapping, this study analyzed data from an attempted census of wood-processing SMEs in Surat Thani, Thailand (n = 82), collected in early 2024. The results confirmed that measurement validity, reliability, and model fit met accepted thresholds. The findings show that (1) KIC significantly enhances ATech adoption via effective integration of internal and external knowledge; (2) ATech positively influences CE through sustainable design, collaborative development, and local resource use; and (3) partial mediation occurs, as KIC affects CE both directly and indirectly through ATech. The study extends the KIC concept beyond competitive advantage to sustainability and shows that SMEs can leverage KIC to identify fit-for-purpose technologies, while policymakers can promote capability-building and ATech access programs.

Within the framework of the mobilization and institutional approaches, the analysis of four cases of protest actions on the construction and expansion of garbage facilities in the Arkhangelsk region, the Moscow oblast, the Republic of atarstan and the Krasnodar Krai is carried out. The study of protest actions by the author in a wide range of social movements leads to the conclusion that “garbage riots” in Russia are becoming the main form of collective protest actions in Russia. In the progressive development, the process of reproduction of protest practices, institutionalization and politicization of anti-garbage protests is observed. An important mobilization resource of the protest movement under study is the obvious severity of the problem, which is becoming increasingly relevant for all Russian regions. In addition, one of the key resources of the protest movement is the high level of networking (through social media) among protest participants, environmental and human rights non-governmental organizations (NGOs). As protest activity around the “garbage” issue grows, the official authorities are increasingly moving from confrontation to dialogue, involving public representatives and independent experts in the decision-making process.

Radio remains one of the most accessible and influential communication tools for mobilizing communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study examined the role of City FM Radio, particularly the Asubuhi ya Jiji and Jioni ya Jiji programs, in promoting stakeholder engagement in school development projects within Dar es Salaam City Council. A mixed-methods research design was employed, drawing data from teachers, students, parents, school administrators, education officers, and City FM media practitioners. The findings showed that although City FM provides valuable educational content, program coverage remained limited, with only 33.3% of teachers and 16.7% of students regularly listening to the broadcasts. Stakeholders described the programs as moderately useful, emphasizing clarity and professionalism while noting limited analytical depth and minimal interactivity. Despite these limitations, the programs positively influenced public participation, as 60% of teachers and 70% of students indicated that the broadcasts encouraged community involvement in school meetings, resource mobilization, and project oversight. The study concludes that City FM Radio holds significant potential to enhance public awareness and mobilize communities toward school development; however, this potential remains underutilized due to inconsistent programming, weak outreach, and content gaps. The study recommends strengthening depth, consistency, and audience engagement strategies to maximize the role of radio in educational development.

This article aims to define the content of psychological and pedagogical support for students' development of life strategies in the educational practices of modern universities. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the content of psychological and pedagogical support for the process of developing students' life strategies based on an analysis of best practices in the implementation of youth policy in the current context. The authors determined the content of psychological and pedagogical support for the process of developing students' life strategies based on an analysis of empirical data from studies of university students' life strategies; a content analysis of existing domestic educational and educational practices for the formation of identity, value stability, and the development of constructive life strategies for young people in various educational organizations; and a generalization of the experience of using educational and educational practices in solving the problem on the stated topic (results of the study 2023-2025). Psychological and pedagogical support for students' life strategy development is viewed as a process within which several interconnected components can be identified, reflecting the essential characteristics of the life strategy phenomenon, identified barriers, and fundamental principles of support. A cross-cutting element of psychological and pedagogical support at each stage of students' professional development is a series of classes aimed at developing students' psychological resilience to crisis situations that require the mobilization of personal resources; expanding the repertoire of behavioral strategies in difficult life situations; developing individual stress management skills; teaching methods (skills) for providing psychological support to someone in a critical situation; and developing a willingness to provide, request, and receive support.

Globally, there is increasing need to address the burden of mental illness on populations, including youth, and increasing recognition of the role of social determinants on mental health. The study of resilience, as an ecological process of individual and community resource mobilisation in the face of adversity, is a promising lens through which to understand culturally and contextually relevant factors that enhance or inhibit mental wellbeing. This paper reports on a validation of a reduced, 2-factor, 17-item form of the child and youth resilience measure (CYRM-28) on a population of youth in Aotearoa (New Zealand) who were involved in multiple service systems, including child and adolescent mental health services. It builds on previous work which validated the full 28-item scale. It responds to needs articulated by researchers and service providers for a shortened version of the CYRM-28 that reduces assessment burdens on youth and clinicians. The reduced form may be helpful in mental health settings to quickly understand the resilience resources around vulnerable youth and support interventions that build on strengths and directly address areas where resources are missing.

Environmental public management is more vital each day in tackling global crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss and ecosystem harm. Thus, old state-run models often fail to get communities involved, leading to governance gaps. This study checks how Crowdfunding Fervor can reshape community dynamics in public management. Using a multi-step view, we map Crowdfunding Fervor and probe its workings, including the mix of behavioral marketing tools and tech platform design. Results show that Crowdfunding Fervor boosts resource mobilization efficiency, fosters bottom-up community engagement, and improves system guts. The study ends that tapping Crowdfunding Fervor can close action gaps and push lasting, citizen-focused environmental governance.

Sustainable agricultural practices are essential for responding to the twin pressure of climate change and rapid population growth in Kenya. Identifying mechanisms that accelerate the uptake of these practices remains a policy priority. Agricultural cooperatives societies (ACSs) have been proposed as a key institutional channel for supporting this transition. However, existing research on how ACSs influence the adoption of sustainable agriculture in Kenya is fragmented and significantly gaps persist regarding the consistency and strength of this relationship. This review synthesizes current empirical evidence and highlights methodological and theoretical limitations within the literature. A systematic search was conducted using google scholar, yielding 832 initial records. Studies were included if they examined Kenyan ACS and their relationship with sustainable or climate-smart agricultural practices, applied empirical methods, and were published in English. After screening, 22 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were extracted on study characteristics, methodological approaches, and reported outcomes. Quantitative and qualitative findings were convergent. A majority of studies (86.4%) found that ACS membership was consistently associated with higher adoption rates of sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices. Key mechanisms identified included improved access to information, collective resource mobilization, strengthened market structures, enhanced farmer inclusion, and support for innovation. Despite these benefits, several studies reported neutral or negative associations, often linked to governance weaknesses, limited technological capacity, and low farmer engagement. Additionally, 72.7% of the studies lacked a guiding theoretical framework, limiting explanatory depth and cross-study comparability. The evidence suggests that ACSs play a significant enabling role in advancing sustainable agriculture in Kenya, although their impact is uneven and context specific. Policymakers should prioritize strengthening CAS governance, investing in cooperative infrastructure, and promoting farmer participation. Future research should integrate robust theoretical frameworks to better explain causal pathways and variation in ACS effectiveness.

ABSTRACT This study examines how Korean Human Service Organizations (HSOs) achieved financial resilience during COVID-19 through a sequential mixed-methods design. Despite stable government subsidies, HSOs faced declining private support, prompting adaptive financial strategies. Using Generalized Mixture Modeling (GMM, 2017–2020, N = 205), four resilience trajectories were identified: Adaptive Recovery, Absorptive Stability, Vulnerability, and Limited Capacity. Among these, two financially resilient patterns – Adaptive Recovery (reversing prior declines) and Absorptive Stability (maintaining stability) – highlighted organizations that sustained or increased private support amid crisis. Complementary qualitative analysis of 30 resilient HSOs revealed three enabling factors: strategic resource mobilization, mission-driven stakeholder collaboration, and adaptive leadership. These results demonstrate that resilient HSOs actively combined resource diversification, stakeholder engagement, and leadership adaptation to secure private support and sustain services. The study contributes to nonprofit resilience literature by offering context-specific insights into dual-funded organizations’ adaptive capacities and informing future crisis-preparedness strategies for human service systems.

This study examines the relationship between entrepreneurial skills and employability readiness among undergraduate and postgraduate business management students. Drawing on a sample of 320 students from three universities, the research uses standardized scales to measure entrepreneurial competencies (opportunity recognition, risk-taking, innovation, resource mobilization, and networking) and employability readiness (career clarity, workplace skills, self-management, and job-search competencies). Quantitative analysis (descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression) shows that entrepreneurial skills are positively associated with employability readiness, with opportunity recognition and self-management emerging as the strongest predictors. The study discusses implications for curriculum design, co-curricular programming, and industry-academia linkages, and offers recommendations for educators and policymakers to integrate entrepreneurship education with employability-focused training. Limitations and directions for future research are noted.

With a view to promoting local development, Togo has been undergoing operational decentralization since 2019 through the practice of communalization and the mobilization of its own resources. The municipality of Bassar 1 is part of this initiative. Located in northern Togo, this municipality has economic potential, but it is hampered by poor fiscal performance. This study aims to analyze the factors that hinder the effectiveness of the local revenue mobilization system in Bassar 1. To achieve this objective, the study adopted a methodology based on observation of revenue collection practices, documentation related to local resources, and administrative accounts from 2020 to 2024. It conducted interviews with various actors involved in local resource mobilization and surveyed 128 taxpayers. The results of the study show that the institutional organization of revenue collection is inefficient. Only 24 agents, including 20 volunteers, are responsible for revenue collection. In addition, the taxpayer database is very limited, and taxpayers are not geolocated. The digitization project (GesFiCo) initiated in this area has remained unfinished, and 72% of those surveyed have not been registered. Furthermore, Bassar 1 is dependent on non-tax resources, accounting for 92% of its revenue, with tax revenue being negligible (8%). Finally, 75% of the municipality's expenditure is allocated to operating costs, compared to only 25% for investments. In this context, it is urgent that the municipality of Bassar 1 professionalize the collection of its own revenues, conduct a land registry, and develop digital mapping to improve its own resources and promote sustainable local governance.

Abstract This paper investigates how technology differences shape the relationship between donor export interests and the allocation of official development assistance (ODA) for green electricity technologies (GETs). Utilizing ODA and export data from 22 OECD donor countries between 2006 and 2020, we employ quasi-binomial regression to examine how commercial interests influence bilateral and earmarked multilateral ODA commitments across wind, solar PV, hydropower, and grid technologies. Our findings reveal systematic variation in export-aid relationships across technologies. Stronger wind and hydropower export interests are associated with significantly higher aid shares. Evidence for this relationship is especially strong for ODA committed through directly donor-controlled bilateral channels, while tentative for project-earmarked multilateral aid. Conversely, solar PV exports are associated with reduced aid shares, while grid technology exports show no significant relationship with aid allocation. Notably, the association of aid and exports varies significantly across technologies, reflecting differences in technology and market characteristics. The positive relationships for wind and hydropower align with donor countries’ competitive advantages in complex, design-intensive technologies with high barriers to entry. The negative solar PV relationship reflects less competitive donor exports and the relevance of solar PV technologies for broader development objectives, likely leading exporters to prefer alternative promotion mechanisms. In the case of grid technologies, the lack of a statistically significant export-aid relationship is consistent with their role as enabling infrastructure benefiting diverse commercial and developmental interests. Our analysis indicates that commercial motivations in aid allocation vary systematically across technologies, including in donors’ commitments to international organizations. The results underscore the need for recipient countries and international organizations to consider technology-specific donor incentives when anticipating resource mobilization patterns. These findings have important implications for climate finance, as green industrial policies may stimulate aid flows for complex technologies while creating potential tensions between donor export strategies and recipient localization objectives.

ABSTRACT The uptake of green innovation is crucial for local sustainability transitions but is far from a traditional task for local administrations. It is therefore important to study how they build transformative capacity to implement directionality. This paper compares three Danish cases of local administrations implementing the rollout of solar energy. Using a novel conceptual framework, we examine how they interpret mandates, mobilise resources and develop internal abilities. The paper shows how variation across these dimensions shapes differences in transformative capacity during implementation. It concludes with practical recommendations for local policymakers and suggests future research about transformative capacity at organisational level.

Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) is a key instrument for development financing and public financial management in Indonesia. Despite significant regulatory strengthening in recent years, audit evidence suggests that challenges in PNBP implementation persist as structural and recurring issues. This study analyzes the implementation of PNBP policies during the 2020–2024 period using the Semester Audit Summary Reports (Ikhtisar Hasil Pemeriksaan Semester-IHPS) issued by the Audit Board of Indonesia as the primary data source. The study applies qualitative content analysis to audit findings and recommendations related to PNBP management. The analysis focuses on governance issues that repeatedly emerge across audit periods, utilizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an interpretive framework to assess the relevance of these findings to institutional strengthening and domestic resource mobilization. The results identify persistent implementation challenges, including low compliance with revenue collection and remittance obligations, weaknesses in internal control systems, repeated audit recommendations due to inadequate follow-up, and fragmented PNBP management across ministries and agencies. These findings suggest that the primary obstacles to effective PNBP implementation are not rooted in regulatory deficiencies, but rather in inconsistent and weak policy implementation at the institutional level. From an SDGs perspective, the implementation challenges of PNBP are closely associated with the agenda of strengthening effective, accountable, and transparent public institutions, as well as improving domestic resource mobilization for development financing. Accordingly, the contribution of PNBP to sustainable development is better understood through improvements in governance quality and fiscal accountability, rather than solely through quantitative increases in non-tax revenue.

Ghana has developed a comprehensive migration governance framework anchored by the National Migration Policy (NMP) launched in 2016 and the Ghana Immigration Service Strategic Plans. However, translating these policy instruments into operational reality remains inconsistent across implementation domains. This paper critically evaluates Ghana’s migration policy implementation through systematic analysis of institutional coordination, border management, labour migration, diaspora engagement, and emerging pillars including data systems, reintegration support, and anti-trafficking efforts. The analysis reveals a persistent gap between policy formulation and practice, characterized by donor dependency, institutional fragmentation, and resource constraints. While Ghana demonstrates notable achievements in institutional capacity building, border technology deployment through the Migration Information and Data Analysis System (MIDAS), and diaspora cultural engagement initiatives like the Year of Return, critical deficiencies persist in sustainable financing, inter-agency coordination, legal domestication of policies, and enforcement capacity. Strategic recommendations include establishing a national migration fund, accelerating legal domestication of the NMP, integrating migration databases across agencies, and developing diaspora investment frameworks to channel the substantial remittance flows more productively. The paper concludes that moving from donor-reliant projects to state-led migration governance requires fundamental shifts in domestic resource mobilization, inter-agency cohesion, and political commitment.

Integrated energy cyber-physical systems (IECPS) face escalating cyber-attack threats due to their deep cyber-physical coupling, while traditional resilience models relying solely on fixed resources exhibit rigidity and limited adaptability. This review investigates IECPS attack mechanisms through the lens of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability framework, revealing their cross-layer propagation characteristics. We explicitly distinguish between fixed and mobile resources. Fixed resources include energy sources, transmission and distribution network facilities, coupling and conversion devices, fixed energy storage systems, and communication and control infrastructure. Mobile resources are grouped into five categories: mobile electricity resources, mobile gas resources, mobile heat resources, mobile hydrogen resources, and mobile communication resources. Fixed resources provide geographically anchored capacity and structural redundancy, and they offer static operational flexibility. Mobile resources, in contrast, provide spatially reconfigurable and rapidly deployable support for sensing, temporary multi-energy supply, and emergency communications. Building on this distinction, this review proposes a full-cycle resilience enhancement framework that encompasses pre-event prevention, in-progress response, and post-event recovery, with a particular focus on collaborative mechanisms between fixed and mobile resources. Furthermore, this review examines the foundational theories and key supporting technologies for such coordination, including fixed-mobile resource scheduling, intelligent perception and data fusion, communication security, and collaborative scheduling optimization. Key technical gaps and challenges in fixed-mobile resource collaboration are identified. Ultimately, this review aims to provide theoretical insights and practical guidance for developing resilient, adaptive, and secure integrated energy systems in the face of evolving cyber-physical threats.

The growing global demand for sustainable agricultural practices has intensified pressure on tea stakeholders to adopt environmental management systems (EMS). However, the extent to which financial resources influence the implementation of such systems among tea stakeholders in Kericho County remains inadequately understood. This study, therefore, examined the relationship between financial resources and environmental management systems among tea stakeholders in Kericho County, Kenya. This was anchored on Deming’s Theory of Quality Management. A correlational research design was employed, targeting 150 staff members drawn from selected tea factories in Kericho County. A sample of 48 respondents was selected through stratified and purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS software. The findings revealed that financial resources had a significant positive influence on the adoption of environmental management systems (β = 0.721, p = 0.000<0.05). The study concluded that adequate financial resources are critical in facilitating the implementation and sustainability of EMS within the tea industry. It is therefore recommended that tea firms strengthen financial planning, allocate dedicated environmental budgets, and prioritize resource mobilization to enhance compliance and competitiveness. Keywords: Financial Resources, Environmental Management Systems, ISO 14001, Tea Stakeholders, Kericho County, Kenya.
