(2021), Joshi et al. (2022) and Winarno et al. (2021) |

| Inter-organizational coordination and collaboration | Collaborative planning for pandemic response through cooperation, interaction and collaboration among relief agencies | Deepu and Ravi (2021) and Saikouk et al. (2021) |

| Surveillance for vulnerable groups | It aims to limit the spread of the pandemic in vulnerable groups (children, women and the old-age population). It is a critical factor as it enables rapid detection, isolation, testing and management. Surveillance is essential to monitor the mid-term and long-term COVID-19 spread in the vulnerable group and also to understand the change in the architecture of the virus and its symptoms | Roberts and Faith (2021), Weitzberg et al.
