Abstract
This article describes the evolution of Indonesia's voluntary sector and
the role of nongovernmental and private voluntary organizations in the
development of Indonesia's civil society. The paper describes how
NGOs and PYOs complement and supplement the role of government
in the social and economic development of the society. It also discusses
how these organizations manage their responsibility in challenging
the government while often remaining financially dependent on the
government for their existence. The paper also advances discussions
about the organizational theory of voluntary organizations and their
particular development in Indonesia.
