<![CDATA[This Policy Paper outlines that the implementation of the Zakat Village program in Papua Province is not running optimally due to the high fragmentation of collaboration and weak cross-sectoral synergy, and the imbalance in the capacity of amil resources among philanthropic institutions. This study aims to analyze the dysfunction of collaborative governance and formulate alternative strategic policy interventions to create an integrated, inclusive, and equitable economic empowerment ecosystem for the people in the 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost) regions. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive-prescriptive policy analysis design, this study collects secondary data through literature studies and legal-formal document reviews. The data is then reviewed using thematic analysis techniques and a policy evaluation matrix based on William N. Dunn's scoring theory. The results of the analysis indicate that the managerial competency gap and disparity in digital fundraising capabilities have pushed national-scale Zakat Institutions (LAZ) to act autonomously (silo mentality). The absence of a binding regional legal framework exacerbates poverty data asymmetry, triggers overlapping distribution in urban areas, and leads to exclusion of interventions for mustahik in remote areas due to high logistical costs without a process of knowledge transfer to local amils. To address this bureaucratic pathology, this study recommends the urgent issuance of a Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation (PMA) concerning the Governance of Collaboration and Consortium for the Community Economic Empowerment Program in 3T Regions.]]>
