The Role Of Scientific Endowment In Supporting Sustainable Local Development In Algeria ( The Case Of Tindouf Province )

Authors : Mebrouki Mahmoud . Zoubir Mohamed .

Abstract

Abstract: This research examines the role of scientific endowments (waqf) in promoting local development in the wilaya of Tindouf. It analyzes the completed endowment projects and evaluates their impact on scientific, social, and economic fields. The results show that scientific endowments have enabled the implementation of promising development projects, despite being currently limited to Qur'anic education. The research also revealed the absence of some municipalities, such as Umm Al-Asal, from the scientific endowment development plan. Furthermore, the study indicates that the culture of endowments in Algerian society is still confined to supporting mosques, cemeteries, and Qur'anic education schools, which necessitates broadening the concept of endowments to include wider scientific and developmental areas.
