本文通过对2010年海地地震的案例研究，考察了组织在灾后重建方面的优先级设置。对在太子港工作的7类52个组织进行了采访。结果表明，这些组织在优先级设置方面可以分为专家或通才。专家更有可能是资助者或资源充足的组织。通才组织是规模较小的组织，通常是资金的受益者，包括小型国际非政府组织和海地非政府组织。国际资助者根据相对标准的全球优先事项采取行动，而通才组织的优先事项更容易修改，并受到需要从资助者那里获得资源的影响。这些结果是由对组织的种群生态学理解所预测的。优先级设置方法的差异具有重要意义，因为专业组织类型经常依赖通才来实施他们的项目。这也许可以解释国际资助者和海地当地组织之间的紧张关系。本文提出了解决海地灾后重建中出现的优先级设置不匹配问题的途径。
This paper examines organisational priority setting with respect to post-disaster reconstruction through a case study of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Interviews were conducted with 52 organisations, across seven categories, working in Port-au-Prince. Results show that these organisations can be grouped as specialists or generalists in terms of priority setting. Specialists are more likely to be funders or well-resourced organisations. Generalists are smaller organisations that are typically beneficiaries of funding, including small international NGOs and Haitian NGOs. International funders acted on a relatively standard repertoire of global priorities, while the priorities of generalist organisations were more readily modified and were influenced by a need to secure resources from funders. These outcomes are those predicted by a population ecology understanding of organisations. The difference in priority setting approaches has important implications since specialist organisational types frequently rely on generalists to implement their projects. This may account for some of the tensions reported between international funders and local organisations in Haiti. The paper proposes avenues to address the priority setting mismatch observed around post-disaster reconstruction in Haiti.
