This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Zakat Village Index (ZVI) version 2.0 in Anjir Muara Kota Village, located in Anjir Muara District, Barito Kuala Regency. The assessment focused on five key dimensions: economy, health, education, social and humanitarian affairs, and counseling and advocacy. A mixed-methods approach was employed, using an exploratory sequential design. The study began with qualitative data collection through interviews and observations, followed by quantitative analysis using a gradual weighted index method. The results showed a total ZVI score of 0.68, which falls within the "good" category. The education dimension recorded the highest score, whereas the economic and social-humanitarian dimensions showed relatively low values. These findings suggest that while the village is not a top priority for zakat assistance, targeted interventions are still needed in specific areas of weakness. Overall, the study demonstrates that the Zakat Village Index can serve as an effective evaluation tool for assessing the eligibility of villages for zakat-based empowerment programs.
