侨民和侨民非政府组织（NGO）作为其母国的资源生命线越来越重要，但他们动员的资源，他们面临的挑战类型以及他们的应对机制在灾难恢复的背景下没有得到很好的探讨或理解。为了填补这一知识空白，本研究采用了一种归纳定性的方法，利用访谈来理解海地侨民非政府组织在2010年灾难性地震后所发挥的作用。它发现，资源有四种常见的形式：活动筹款;支持者的财政和物质捐助;汇款;和志愿劳动。挑战包括过度依赖散居国外的捐助者、非政府组织之间的竞争以及被认为对散居国外的非政府组织不公平的供资做法。调查结果提供了深入的见解，重点是更好地协调侨民非政府组织之间以及侨民非政府组织与其他地方和国际非政府组织、地方政府和国际机构之间的协调，以确保更有效地向幸存者提供服务。
Diasporas and diaspora non‐governmental organisations (NGOs) are increasingly important as resource lifelines to their home countries, yet the resources that they mobilise, the types of challenges that they face, and their coping mechanisms are not well explored or understood in the context of disaster recovery. To fill this knowledge gap, this study employed an inductive qualitative methodological approach, using interviews to comprehend the role played by Haitian diaspora NGOs after the catastrophic earthquake in 2010. It found that resources take four common forms: event fundraisers; financial and material donations from supporters; remittances; and volunteer labour. Challenges include an overreliance on diaspora donors, competition among NGOs, and what is perceived as inequitable funding practices towards diaspora NGOs. The findings provide insights centred on better coordination among diaspora NGOs, as well as between diaspora NGOs and other local and international NGOs and local governments and international institutions, to ensure more efficient delivery of services to survivors.
