Abstract

Disasters of great magnitude have brought to the fore the need of a multi-stakeholder partnership in delivering the service. Experience in last few years shows the need for a closer interface between different stakeholders for better and more effective disaster management practices. Here, the paper analyses Faith Based Organisation (FBO) is one of the stakeholders actively involved with the community in recent times. The guiding principle of different faiths see disasters as a result of human sin but the moral values guide them to reach out to disaster victims. Again, values led the changes in the practices of different organisations to shift the approach from humanitarian assistance to development practice.
