Research design and methodological overview

Data collection	Data analysis	Integration of findings	Correlation of factors
Fieldwork: Conducted detailed ethnographic observations and interviews with stakeholders involved in supply chains, humanitarian aid, and peacebuilding activities. Focused on seven locations across East Asia and the Pacific	Thematic analysis: Coded and categorized qualitative data to identify recurring themes related to supply chain adaptability, institutionalization, and flexibility	Framework development: Synthesized findings into the triple nexus framework to propose a restructured mechanism for enhancing humanitarian supply chains	Supply chain adaptability: Examined the relationship between the flexibility of development supply chains and their effectiveness in humanitarian contexts
Ethnographic observations allowed for in-depth understanding of local practices and challenges. - Interviews provided insights into stakeholders’ perspectives and experiences	Thematic coding helped in organizing data into themes that reflect the core issues and patterns observed. Cross-coding ensured consistency and reliability in data interpretation	Integrated qualitative findings into a conceptual framework that aligns with the triple nexus approach, enhancing coherence between humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding efforts	Analyzed how adaptable supply chain processes impact timely and effective humanitarian responses, focusing on flexibility in procedures and logistics
Case studies: Selected based on regions prone to climate change-induced disasters and high prevalence of GBV. Included 11 case studies with intensive fieldwork in seven locations. The case studies involved qualitative data collection through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and observations. Prior to the fieldwork, quantitative data was collected; questionnaires were completed by the clinics (MAs)	Comparative analysis: Conducted cross-case analysis to identify commonalities and differences in supply chain practices across different contexts. The questionnaires were coded with cross-coding to identify comparative themes that were used for generalizations across the case studies. The outcomes of the questionnaires also informed the preparation of the fieldwork	Validation: Validated findings through triangulation of data sources and expert consultations	Institutionalization: Analyzed how well-integrated supply chain processes within institutions influence overall responsiveness to SGBV crises
Semi-structured interviews provided flexibility to explore various issues in-depth. - Focus group discussions facilitated a broader understanding of community-level dynamics. - Observations captured real-time practices and challenges in the field	Cross-case analysis allowed for the identification of patterns and unique factors influencing supply chain effectiveness. - Comparative themes provided a basis for generalization and broader application of findings	Triangulation involved cross-referencing data from multiple sources to ensure robustness and reliability of findings - Expert consultations provided additional perspectives and validated the proposed framework	Evaluated the extent to which institutional frameworks support the integration of flexible supply chain processes, enhancing SGBV response effectiveness
Document analysis: Reviewed policy documents, operational reports, and existing literature to contextualize findings within the broader triple nexus framework.	Explore relationships Between identified factors and their impact on humanitarian effectiveness and peacebuilding outcomes	Collaboration: Investigated the impact of inter-agency and cross-sector collaboration on enhancing the efficiency of supply chains and achieving peacebuilding objectives
Policy documents provided a regulatory and strategic context for the study. - Operational reports offered insights into practical challenges and successes. - Literature review helped in framing the research within existing theoretical and practical knowledge	Analysis: identified significant correlations between qualitative findings to understand the impact of various factors on overall supply chain effectiveness and peacebuilding efforts	Analyzed how collaboration between agencies and sectors can enhance supply chain operations and contribute to peacebuilding. - Identified best practices for inter-agency collaboration that could be replicated in similar contexts
