The Framework of Zakat Managing Organization (OPZ) Synergy in Achieving SDGs Target

Abstract

The target of SDGs cannot be achieved without all stakeholders’ participation, including zakat institutions. Zakat Managing Organization (OPZ), as the one serving to manage zakat, plays an important role in achieving the target of SDGs, particularly related to poverty. It is inseparable from Indonesia as the largest Muslim country in the world with great zakat potency. The objective of the research is to propose a framework of OPZ synergy in achieving the target of SDGs, particularly in poverty alleviation. The research method used was document analysis conducted on both online and offline documents of OPZ. This study was also conducted by interviewing the manager of OPZ. The result of the research shows that OPZ indirectly contributes to achieving the target of SDGs, particularly in the zero-poverty sector, overcoming starvation, realizing quality education, and improving health quality. Nevertheless, the spirit of synergy and coordination with the enactment of (Abdoeh, 2020) has not been realized yet. Each of OPZs has its own program and target.
