Challenges of Volunteer Work in Local Organizations in Sana'a

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the challenges facing volunteer work in local organizations in Sana’a, focusing on the factors affecting its sustainability and effectiveness. It adopted a descriptive-analytical approach, collecting data through an electronic questionnaire targeting 126 volunteers from 15 local organizations, with data analysis conducted using the SPSS program.

The study found that the absence of legal frameworks protecting volunteers, the lack of financial incentives, weak societal awareness, and the absence of clear organizational plans are among the main obstacles limiting the sustainability of volunteer work. It recommended developing policies to safeguard volunteers' rights, providing financial and moral incentives, promoting a culture of volunteerism through media and education, and improving organizational management to ensure the continuity and efficiency of volunteer efforts. This study contributes to offering practical solutions to enhance the role of volunteerism in sustainable development
