Impact Analysis of Zakat Empowerment Program Using SROI (Case Study of BESMA IZI)

Abstract

As one of the programs formed and funded by LAZNAS IZI, the BESMA IZI Program requires evidence that an impact has occurred, besides that the BESMA IZI Program also requires an exact number regarding the magnitude of the impact that has occurred on the program to be taken into consideration whether the BESMA IZI Program is feasible to be continued or simply analyzed to improve the program in the future. This study aims to determine what impacts arise from the BESMA IZI program and calculate the social, economic, and environmental impacts resulting from the BESMA IZI program using the Social Return On Investment (SROI) measurement method. The results of this study found that the impact that emerged from the BESMA IZI Program was the impact of increasing memorization/quality of reading the Quran, increasing worship activities, having life skills relevant to needs, diverting funds for other needs, increasing beneficiary income, increasing income from facilitators as well as increasing the income of residents. The magnitude of the impact of the BESMA IZI program is 1,92:1. In other words, every IDR 1 invested has generated IDR 1.92 impact both economically, socially, and environmentally. This means that the BESMA IZI program has been able to provide benefits 92 times greater than the input value invested. The smallest impact felt by stakeholders is social and has no environmental impact, so if LAZNAS IZI can increase activities that can increase social and environmental impacts.
