Needs-assessment with stakeholders

Assesses whether the organization conducts systematic, mixed-method needs and assets assessments with community stakeholders (including marginalised groups) to ensure its welfare and health services are relevant, safe, accessible, effective, and co-designed where appropriate. This collaborative approach embodies the Islamic principle of shura (mutual consultation), ensuring interventions address the community's true maslahah (public interest). Engaging vulnerable populations helps fulfill the Maqasid al-Shariah (objectives of Islamic law) aimed at hifz al-nafs (preservation of life) and upholding human dignity.
