Abstract

This study investigates the resilience and adaptation strategies of Third Sector Organizations (TSOs) in Nigeria, employing a semi-structured interview methodology to explore how these entities navigate socio-economic challenges, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research highlights how TSOs integrate traditional and innovative strategies, including strategic capabilities, digital citizenship, cultural dynamics, and community engagement, to address and overcome adversities. Focusing on the resilience mechanisms within a Sub-Saharan African context, the study offers critical insights that enrich understanding and provide valuable information for TSOs, policymakers, and academics concerned with non-profit sector resilience in challenging environments.
