Abstract

The objective of this research is to elaborate an analytical analysis of the contribution of charity civil society organizations working in the Kingdom of Bahrain for community development purposes. A thorough literature survey of the field of public policy analysis and program evaluation reveals that many evaluation models exist for this purpose. The framework of programs evaluation proposed by the authors Marceau et al. (1992) and Marceau (2012) is a useful tool to reach the general objective of this research project. The methodology of this research is a case study of the Social Charity Organization of Sadad. A questionnaire was elaborated for this purpose that investigates the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and impact of the program. The results of this research project provide a good understanding of the effectiveness and efficiency of charity civil society organizations working in the Kingdom of Bahrain regarding the principle of community development and citizen-life improvement proposed by the National Economic Vision of Bahrain 2030.
