Abstract
This study aims to identify and develop the dimensions, components, and indicators of policymaking for the development of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) within the Ministry of Education. From the perspective of its objective, the research is applied in nature and employs a qualitative research design. The study population comprised experts and scholars in the field of education, from whom 74 participants were selected through theoretical sampling. Data were collected using focused interviews and analyzed through systematic coding, categorization, and prioritization procedures. The findings identified five principal dimensions of policymaking for NGO development in the Ministry of Education, ranked in order of priority: intra-organizational factors, extra-organizational factors, enabling environment, capacity building, and upstream policy documents. Furthermore, the associated components include economic issues, structural and managerial issues, human resource issues, governance, society, laws and regulations, development programs, executive bylaws, organizational restructuring, professionalization, pathology analysis (organizational diagnosis), knowledge management, electronic governance, environmental and spatial considerations, and the creation of supportive political and social conditions. These dimensions and components constitute the essential framework that should be employed in formulating effective policies for the development of non-governmental organizations within the Ministry of Education.
