Abstract
  • Collaboration plays a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of zakah administration, particularly when institutional resources are limited. This paper examines the collaborative strategies of Lembaga Zakat Negeri Kedah (LZNK) in Malaysia and the Sokoto State Zakat and Endowment Commission (SOZECOM) in Nigeria. Drawing on qualitative research design, data was collected from interviews with 3 officers from each institution and through documentary sources. The data was analyzed through a thematic analysis using Nvivo 7.0 software. The study highlights the networks, partnerships, and operational linkages which include amil assistant, schools, universities and NGOs by LZNK, and the sultanate council, district chief and jumu’at mosques by SOZECOM, these enable both institutions to reach eligible beneficiaries, streamline administrative processes, and strengthen governance.
