Abstract
The research aimed at examining the relationships between supply chain
visibility, supply chain velocity, supply chain alignment and supply chain relief agility using a
case of humanitarian agencies in responding to Bududa Land Slide disasters in Eastern
Uganda. The study was motivated by the fact that although several humanitarian agencies
responded by delivering aid to those in need during the aftermath of Bududa landslides in
2010, their humanitarian supply chains were not fast and agile enough to respond to the sudden
onset disaster. A cross sectional data was collected from a sample of sixteen (16) humanitarian
agencies that were involved in responding to landslide disasters in Bududa district in Eastern
Uganda region. A total of 135 usable questionnaires were collected which were used for data
analysis. The results indicate significant positive relationships between supply chain visibility,
supply chain velocity, supply chain alignment and supply chain relief agility. Findings also
revealed that supply chain visibility and supply chain alignment are significant predictors of
humanitarian supply chain relief agility. The study has both practical and theoretical
implications which are discussed.
