    This study examined the relationship between coordination mechanisms, adaptive capability, and supply chain resilience among humanitarian organisations in Uganda. This study was greatly based on the objectives: to examine the relationship between coordination mechanisms and supply chain resilience among humanitarian organizations, to examine the relationship between adaptive capability and supply chain resilience among humanitarian organizations, and to examine the combined effect of coordination mechanisms and adaptive capability on supply chain resilience among humanitarian organizations in Uganda. The study used a cross-sectional research design with a sample size of 290 humanitarian organizations in Kampala. Primary data collected through questionnaires were used for this study. Data collection tools were tested for validity and reliability. The data was analysed using SPSS v23 in which descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Findings revealed a significant and positive relationship between coordination mechanisms and supply chain resilience among humanitarian organizations. Further, findings indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between adaptive capability and supply chain resilience among humanitarian organizations. Overall coordination mechanisms and adaptive capability explain 71% of the variance in supply chain resilience among humanitarian organizations in Kampala. In addition, coordination mechanisms were found to be a stronger predictor of supply chain resilience among humanitarian organizations in Kampala compared to adaptive capability. Therefore, the study recommended that the management of humanitarian organizations in Kampala should emphasize coordination mechanisms through improving standardisation, direct supervision, and mutual adjustment during their operations to enhance their supply chain resilience.
