Abstract:   (60 Views)
Achieving sustainable development is impossible without empowering the weak sections of the society. One of the strategies for empowering communities, especially rural communities, are non-governmental organizations or non-governmental organizations, such as charitable organizations, which can provide primary and key development services for marginalized and poor people at the national level as well as at the global level which provide and to some extent cause their well-being and improve their living conditions and capabilities. In this regard, the present study has analyzed the role of non-governmental organization and charitable institution of Imam Ali in empowering the villagers of Qaen County. For this purpose, a study has been conducted using a descriptive quantitative methodology and a survey method. To operationalize the study, 5 villages covered by the development measures of Imam Ali charity organization in Qaen County were selected as samples. Therefore, the statistical population of the study includes all the households of these villages, which were randomly selected through Cochran sampling (one person as a family representative, preferably the head) at the level of rural households, and through a researcher-made questionnaire based on indicators and the extracted variables were used to collect the data. Statistical analysis shows that there is a direct and significant relationship between empowerment and development activities of Imam Ali charity organization. Considering this, it can be said that the development activities of the charity organization have empowered many villagers and it has been able to take a step towards empowering rural households with its development measures. Also, in order to rank the studied villages in the field of empowerment and development activities of Imam Ali charitable organization, the MABAC model has been used, and the people of Khorramabad village have the highest level of perception of empowerment.
