Study Approach

Profitability is a key aspect of organization financial performance. Kenya SACCOs have been rated fastest growing SACCOs in Africa. However, this growth is largely attributed to growth in membership and penetration. On the other hand the sub sector has recorded irregular trend on the profitability over the last half a decade. Though past literature has tried to link financial risk management to profitability levels, a range of knowledge gaps remain undressed. The current study therefore sought to establish the effect of financial risk management on profitability targeting deposit-taking SACCOs in Nyeri County. To address this objective, the study targeted the following specific objectives; to examine the effect of credit mitigation, liquidity risk controls operational risk mitigation and finally compliance risk mitigation on profitability of deposit taking SACCOs in Nyeri County. Descriptive study design adopted targeting a population of 8 deposit-taking SACCOs. A census study approach was used to subject all the SACCOs to study. The respondents comprised of deposit taking SACCO managers or operational manager. Thus, in total, the study targeted 8 respondents from the management of the SACCOs. Questionnaires were adopted as a tool for data collection. The researcher administered questionnaires to the respondents by dropping to the respondent office and collected at convenient date agreed by both parties. Before undertaking the study, the researcher conducted a reliability test to assess the consistency of the tool using Cronbach’s Alpha. The study used descriptive and inferential statistic in summarizing the data. Under descriptive statistics, the researcher used mean and standard deviation. To test the significance of study variables, the researcher used Pearson correlation and simple linear regressions. The researcher adhered to research ethic during data collection period. The study findings are presented in charts and tables. The study found compliance risk control; liquidity risk control and operational risk control had significant effect on the performance of Saccos in Nyeri while credit risk control was found insignificant in predicting performance of Saccos in Nyeri County. The study recommends Saccos to intensify the compliance risk control, liquidity risk control and the operational risk control practices in enhancement of Sacco’s performance.

Good Practices

The city of Manizales in Colombia has been widely recognized as a good practice case in disaster risk management (DRM). Previous research has sought to amplify learning from Manizales through examining the characteristics of its innovative practices. These are championed by an inter-institutional alliance that includes academia, the local government, the regional environmental authority and service providers. This paper argues that this learning needs to be accompanied by a nuanced understanding of the historical trajectories that have allowed Manizales to create and consolidate its current enabling environment for DRM. The argument derives from an analysis of fieldwork data, including semi-structured interviews, participant observation and secondary data, through a critical juncture approach. Focusing on the critical juncture of seasonal heavy rains in 2003, the paper illustrates how institutional changes configured cultural–cognitive, regulatory and normative conditions for the emergence of one of Manizales’ most recognized good practices, the Guardians of the Slope programme.

Tsunami Vulnerability Assessment

Abstract Tsunamis are disasters with unpredictable events, but the occurrence of tsunamis in Indonesia always has a significant impact on every sector of life, especially the economy and society. The position of the Indonesian State, which is located in the subduction zones as well as the increasing human activity in coastal areas, are the factors that trigger the tsunami, which is accompanied by losses and damages. One of them is Purworejo Regency, which is directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean. Vulnerability assessment is the focus of this paper. This study uses a quantitative analysis approach with analytical methods in the form of scoring analysis. Weighted cell-based data processing is the main cog in vulnerability assessment. The combination of economic and social parameters creates a vulnerability. Financial vulnerability is measured based on GRDP and productive land, while social vulnerability is estimated based on population density and vulnerable communities. The vulnerability analysis results are in the form of total vulnerability level in the medium class, the level of economic vulnerability in the low, quality, and social vulnerability in the medium class associated with the implication of disaster risk management.

The Status

Abstract Background: Over recent years, the exposure of people and assets to disasters has been faster than reducing vulnerability in all countries. As a result, new risks have been formed and losses due to disaster are progressively increasing. Suffering from significant losses in the aftermath of disasters every year, Iran is no exception. Governmental and non-governmental stakeholders are jointly responsible for managing the risks of disasters. Hence, appropriate, collaborative and timely interactions of involved organizations will play an important role in their operation, especially during disasters. Methods: In this study, we used the Social Network Analysis (SNA) to analyze the network of stakeholders in disaster risk management in Iran. Our review of literature, laws, and regulations of disaster risk management plus brainstorming identified a list of 85 stakeholders. We used the Delphi method among purposefully selected experts to score the relationship between the stakeholders. We then used the modularity optimization method to identify groups with greater interaction. Organizations with key-roles in the network and the ones in need of stronger relationships were identified through centrality measurements. Results: The density of this network was 0.75, which represented that not all the stakeholders were connected. Among all organizations identified, the National Disaster Management Organization and Civil Defense Organization showed higher influences considering their responsibilities. Conclusion: To provide a visual and tangible picture of the status and interrelationships among the stakeholders, this method identified groups with better interaction using community/cluster detection and modularity optimization methods. Understanding the current structure of the network and strengths and weaknesses of the interactions among stakeholders may help improve disaster risk management in Iran. Results of this research determine the role and importance of different organizations, their weakness, and strong points. Also, results help them to plan to strengthen their roles and solve their problems.

Long Time

An earthquake and tsunami disaster risk hotspot, Indonesia has already lost hundreds of thousands of lives due to these natural disasters. This country, according to geological history, has experienced such disasters for a long time, but its people seemingly have not learned much from them. Their preparedness level is still low, mainly as a result of their lack of knowledge and awareness of the hazards and the negative impact those hazards have. It can also be noted from the previous disasters that their victims are especially vulnerable groups living under poor socioeconomic conditions; these people subsequently undergo difficulties in recovering their economic livelihood. In fact, most Indonesian provinces, and their coastal areas in particular, are identified as “disaster high risk,” yet more than half the total population lives in and is dependent on these areas. Realizing the high degree of their vulnerability, the people of Indonesia have to prepare to anticipate such disasters, and different initiatives on community disaster preparedness have been executed throughout the country since the Aceh tsunami. The objectives of this study are to discuss the socioeconomic vulnerability of the Indonesian community in the context of earthquakes and tsunamis, the crucial need for the communities to anticipate these disasters, their preparedness conditions, and efforts to reduce disaster risks. The study applies primary data collection based on quantitative (survey) and qualitative (in-depth interviews, FGDs and observations)methodology; it supplies secondary data collection based on desk reviews.
