ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the efficiency level of community empowerment programs at Surabaya. National Amil Zakat Instititution. This research uses a non-parametric quantitative approach with Data Envelopment Analysis method. Sampling is taken from three National Amil Zakat Institutions in Surabaya according to specified sample criteria. For the periods 2015 to 2016, the average relative value of economic empowerment programs with Varibale Return to Scale (VRS) assumptions is more efficient than the Constant Reutrn to Scale (CRS) assumptions. This indicates that, in relative terms, the community empowerment program at LAZNAS has achieved only technical efficiency, but is not yet optimal in scale efficiency.
