Abstract

A large portion of the zakat utilization program is something needed in order to have long-term benefits of zakat and to increase the socio-economic value of zakat funds, one of which is the community's social empowerment program. BAZNAS (the National Zakat Amil Agency) of West Java, which has an intermediary function, conducts the Zakat Community Development (ZCD) program to empower the community. This study aims to determine the profile of social empowerment in the ZCD program. The research method applied is a case study and descriptive approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that the effectiveness of zakat utilization can be increased through community social empowerment programs that are carried out in stages, namely the stage of mental development, group activities, and capacity building activities. Such a method aims to divide the empowerment process and identify competencies and community development.
