<![CDATA[Zakat plays a strategic role in poverty alleviation and enhancing community welfare, aligning with the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 global agenda. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of zakat distribution by the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) in supporting the achievement of specific SDG targets, particularly poverty reduction (SDG 1), quality education (SDG 4), and inclusive economic growth (SDG 8). Using a qualitative approach and a case study method, this research explores BAZNAS’ policies, programs, and the challenges in ensuring targeted zakat allocation. The findings indicate that optimizing zakat distribution based on the needs of mustahik (beneficiaries) and utilizing digital technology can accelerate the realization of the SDGs. Therefore, stronger synergy between BAZNAS, the government, and other stakeholders is essential to enhance the effectiveness and impact of zakat in supporting the global development agenda by 2030.]]>
