Sustainable Governance Strategies forCivil Society Organizations in Indonesia
Navigating Institutional Challenges and Democratic Resilience
Keberadaan organisasi masyarakat (ormas) di Indonesia memiliki peran penting dalam memperkuat pembangunan sosial dan proses demokrasi, namun tata kelolanya masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan yang membatasi efektivitasnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tata kelola ormas di Indonesia dengan meninjau faktor pendukung dan penghambat, khususnya pada aspek sumber daya manusia, pendanaan, dan legitimasi publik, serta merumuskan strategi penguatan peran ormas. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur yang mengkaji laporan, artikel, dan dokumen kebijakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ormas berkontribusi dalam berbagai program kesejahteraan sosial, pemberdayaan masyarakat, dan partisipasi demokrasi, namun sering terhambat oleh lemahnya kapasitas kepemimpinan, keterbatasan manajemen organisasi, ketergantungan pada sumber pendanaan yang tidak stabil, serta menurunnya kepercayaan publik akibat kasus penyalahgunaan kewenangan. Untuk menjawab tantangan tersebut, penelitian ini mengadopsi kerangka collaborative governance Ansell dan Gash, yang menekankan strategi membangun kepercayaan, menjaga komitmen, membangun pemahaman bersama, melibatkan aktor swasta, berbagi sumber daya, serta memperkuat legitimasi masyarakat. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa tata kelola ormas yang efektif membutuhkan sinergi antara reformasi internal organisasi dengan strategi kolaboratif yang melibatkan negara, sektor swasta, dan masyarakat, sehingga ormas mampu memaksimalkan perannya sebagai mitra dalam pembangunan sosial dan demokrasi yang berkelanjutan di Indonesia.
