Abstract

The study aims to identify the Global Giving Index with its three sub-indices ;(helping strangers, donating money; and volunteering time). Accordingly Iraq recorded the highest degree of giving globally in (2016,2018, and 2023), which reflects increased awareness of social solidarity. Hence, its people are described as generous, the lowest (2019), fluctuating between high and low in (2017,2021,2022, and 2024) as a result of many challenges; population growth /weak legislation regulating volunteer work/lack of material and moral support /high rates of corruption, etc. The study reached several results, the most important of which; preparing a national strategy for volunteer work including it as an essential part of the specific goals and priorities, providing financial support, allocating a special budget for it, launching awareness campaigns about the importance of volunteer work, etc.
