To achieve this goal, a set of questions has been put forward: What are the characteristics of social work professionals working in OCF in Makkah region (Makkah, Jeddah, Taif)? To what extent do social workers in OCF adhere to professional skills, roles, tools, and principles of community organization in their practice? To what extent is the professional practice of community organization evaluated in OCF in Makkah region? What are the obstacles facing the professional practice of community organization in OCF in the Makkah region? What proposals can help overcome these obstacles?
