Assessing Good Governance Practices in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Among Education Institutions: A Systematic Literature Review
Assessing Good Governance Practices in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Among Education Institutions: A Systematic Literature Review

Summary/Abstract: Following PRISMA approach, this systematic literature review looked at 19 peer-reviewed publications on disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) and good governance practices in schools that were published between 2011 and 2025. The review evaluated the relationship between DRRM implementation outcomes, such as preparedness, response, and recovery, and governance characteristics, including transparency, accountability, participation, and efficiency. Findings show that schools with higher budget allocation and larger institutional scale perform better in response during a disaster. School location significantly determines the level of disaster preparedness, attributed to resources, infrastructure, and program implementation. The review emphasized the need for mixed-method analyses in future studies to capture the combined effects of governance practices and institutional variables. It concludes that strengthening leadership capacity, financial transparency, and participatory governance structures is crucial for building school level resilience.
