Conditional Cash Transfer (Cct) As An Alternative Scheme Of Zakat Distribution To Alleviate The Problem Of Stunting In Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia, as a developing country, faces many challenges in addressing issues related to malnutrition. One of the most pressing concerns is stunting, which refers to the impaired growth and development of children due to chronic malnutrition. According to World Health Organization (WHO), around 30% of Indonesian children under the age of five are stunted. This is a concern, given that stunting has a long-term impact on children's physical and mental development. To answer this concern, the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Scheme of zakat distribution comes as a potential solution to stunting. This scheme is an innovative model of community social empowerment that has been practiced by many countries in the world. This research uses library research or commonly called literature review study which is based on the description of theories, insights, and other research materials collected from several resources. The finding of this research is that the conditional cash transfer scheme of the distribution of zakat funds is a solution to the problem of stunting in Indonesia, because the distribution of zakat can be done in more targeted and efficient ways. This scheme can also help reduce the risk of misuse of zakat funds by unauthorized recipients. With a certain conditions that have to be met, it will be easier to monitor and evaluate the use of zakat funds.
