Strengthening Global Disaster Relief Systems: A Collaborative Evaluation Approach to Quality, Accountability, and Community Resilience

Abstract

This paper proposes a collaborative evaluation framework to strengthen the quality, accountability, and resilience of global disaster relief systems. Drawing on the Model for Collaborative Evaluation (MCE), we explore how this type of evaluation practices can improve humanitarian responses across varied international contexts. Integrating MCE principles with quality management tools, we showcase how disaster relief organizations can enhance responsiveness, community trust, and long-term sustainability. Our approach is grounded in engagement, shared decision-making, and continuous feedback, and is illustrated through literature-based insights and hypothetical global response scenarios. This contribution addresses the conference’s emphasis on systems thinking, interdisciplinary health, and community well-being.
