Abstract

This study explores the strategic governance of flood and drought management in Zamboanga City, Philippines, through a detailed examination of decentralized governance structures, stakeholder engagement, resource management, and performance measurement. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions, the research assesses the effectiveness of current disaster management practices and identifies key challenges and opportunities for improvement. The findings reveal that while decentralized governance structures have enhanced local responsiveness, issues persist in clarity of roles, resource allocation, and inter-stakeholder coordination. The study highlights the need for clearer guidelines, improved stakeholder collaboration, and better integration of disaster risk reduction into development planning. Additionally, it underscores the importance of balancing market-oriented approaches with public accountability. The research provides actionable recommendations for enhancing disaster management strategies, including strengthening local capacities, fostering inclusive participation, and refining performance measurement systems. These insights contribute to the broader discourse on disaster governance and offer practical guidance for policymakers and practitioners seeking to improve resilience and effectiveness in flood and drought management.
