Development Approach

The purpose of this article is to describe the Community Development program of the Department of Welfare of the Province of Manitoba. The community-development approach is not new to social scientists. An impressive bibliography is readily available to anyone who wishes to study its guiding principles, methods, and techniques. This article will have served its purpose if it is successful in explaining why Community Development was chosen to help in the integration of people of Indian ancestry in Manitoba, what problems it hopes to solve, and how it was adapted to serve under the specific conditions prevailing in Manitoba.

The fields of zakat-based microfinance and community development are not often placed under the same theoretical lens that both aim to empower disadvantaged people. This study investigates the experiences of borrowers in the implementation of zakat-based microfinance and analyses the different driving factors they applied in their choice of the zakat-based microfinance of Da’arut Tauhid Peduli in Bandung, Indonesia. It applies a community development framework, based on the five characteristics, to explore this Islamic microfinance approach as an effective community development program, which has a religious dimension. Primary data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with the borrowers along with participation observation at a weekly majelis meeting, and these were triangulated with information cross-checked with management staff of the institution. The findings demonstrate three out of five characteristics of zakat-based microfinance approach as an effective community development program. They include characteristics in constantly maintaining power relation between borrowers and the institution, increasing capability and ability of borrowers to be more independent and empowered, and long-term duration of the program and sustainability. The findings showed that spiritual factors appear to have been an additional driving force on top of economic and non-economic factors for most borrowers choosing this particular program. With respect to zakat-based microfinance as a community development approach, practitioners need to develop longer-term strategic planning that takes into account the principles and core components of both zakat and community development; this would facilitate both the economical and spiritual empowerment of recipients to widen the scope of change, as well as expand benefits from their families to the wider community
