Post-disaster recovery requires co-production; that is, the inputs of citizens are essential for successful community recovery to occur. Citizens contribute to post-disaster recovery by volunteering, taking on consultative and decision-making roles within their communities, and directly participating in post-disaster reconstruction efforts. Without meaning ful contributions from citizens—the intended beneficiaries—unilateral efforts by public officials and authorities will inevitably fail. This study shows that social entrepreneurs can thus play a critical role in spurring post-disaster recovery by facilitating co-production. It focuses on the role of social entrepreneurs after disasters and centres on one rural village, Giranchaur Namuna Basti in the Sindhupalchowk District of Nepal. Specifically, the study uses the case of the Dhurmus Suntali Foundation's Namuna village project in Giranchaur following the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck on 25 April 2015 to examine the pivotal role that social entrepreneurs assume in promoting voluntary activities, community engagement, and participation in post-disaster recovery efforts.

社会创业、合作生产和灾后恢复

灾后恢复需要协同生产；也就是说，公民的投入对于成功的社区恢复至关重要。公民通过志愿服务、在社区内担任咨询和决策角色以及直接参与灾后重建工作，为灾后恢复做出贡献。如果没有公民（预期受益者）的有意义的贡献，公职人员和当局的单方面努力将不可避免地失败。这项研究表明，社会企业家因此可以通过促进共同生产在促进灾后恢复方面发挥关键作用。它侧重于社会企业家在灾难后的作用，并以尼泊尔 Sindhupalchowk 区的一个乡村 Giranchaur Namuna Basti 为中心。具体来说，
