<br/><br/> ABSTRACT:<br/>Background: blood donation remains essential to life-saving practices in healthcare systems worldwide. However, low blood donation rates have become a significant global public health concern. This systematic review aims to assess and evaluate different incentives and disincentives in blood donation to promote evidence-based strategies that would improve the altruism of potential donors.<br/>Methods: this review utilized the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and included studies that tackled blood donation rates with their respective motivators or barriers related to blood donation from databased such as ResearchGate, ProQuest, PubMed, and ScienceDirect.<br/>Results: 50 out 255 studies passed the eligibility criteria. The study identified key factors influencing blood donation rates across different settings and donor profiles. Hospital-based and blood donation centers saw highest donation rates, driven by personal connections, positive staff interactions, and religious motivations. Mobile units effectively raised awareness, while university campus-based center faced accessibility challenges. Tailoring incentives to specific settings and donor profiles was crucial for increasing and donor profiles was crucial for increasing donation rates. Blood donation programs could implement motivational strategies such as blood donor education and enhanced based on study findings.<br/>Conclusion: community blood drives, hospital-based centers, and mobile units motivation donors with incentives and accessibility. Familial needs drive donations regardless of demographics. Knowledge boosts the likelihood of donations, but fear and lack of knowledge hinder it. Evidence-based strategies enhance compensation and eligibility.<br/>Keywords: Barriers, Compensation, Motivation, Strategies<br/>
