Job creation in rural areas, especially in less-developed regions, is considered one of the fundamental priorities for achieving sustainable development. Nahzatabad District in Rudbar-e-Jonub County, which faces a high unemployment rate, necessitates the implementation of effective employment policies. In this context, the provision of microcredits and self-employment loans by institutions such as the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee has emerged as a supportive strategy. This study aims to assess the impact of self-employment loans from the Relief Committee on the development of local businesses and the improvement of rural household livelihoods in the region. The research method is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of its objective. Data were collected through questionnaires and official sources, and analyzed using one-sample t-tests and multivariate regression. The statistical population includes all 220 households that received loans in Nahzatabad District. The findings indicate that the main businesses created using these loans include greenhouse farming (25.5%), cattle raising (21.8%), and sheep or goat raising (18.6%). Other economic activities such as handicrafts, carpet weaving, tailoring, and small-scale retail accounted for 34.1% of the created jobs. Statistical analysis using one-sample t-tests revealed a significant impact of self-employment loans on self-employment rates, household income, and savings. Furthermore, regression and ANOVA tests confirmed a strong and significant relationship between loan provision and household job creation. Therefore, microcredits from the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee play a crucial role in strengthening self-employment, increasing income, and improving the economic condition of rural households, and can be regarded as an effective tool for rural sustainable development.
