| dc.description.abstract | A new global movement, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), has been ongoing since the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) had expired in 2015. Not only involving both developed and developing state members, the United Nations also mandated other stakeholders including civil society organization, in an attempt to achieve the SDGs’ 17 goals and 169 targets by 2030. However, the inclusion of organizations for the implementation of SDGs has both negative and positive reactions among scholars. Accordingly, after assessment, this research is in light of previous studies that are in favor of the organization’s presence. The capacity of eight different backgrounds of organizations in Indonesia, together with the country’s governance and level of its citizens’ awareness towards the 2030 agenda are assessed. Indonesia is a preferred nation for this research due to the country’s experience in the failure of MDGs, even though hundreds of thousands of organizations operate within the nation. Thus, it is aimed at improving civil society organization participation for the success of both SDGs’ implementation and accomplishment in the country. Finally, this master thesis recommends that association needs to integrate SDGs into the organizational system as well as to upgrade its capacity; considering the findings of this study that (1) the country adopts SDGs with a largely decentralized governance mode based on the criteria of Driessen et al. (2012); (2) the public awareness considered as inadequate, based on the overall opinion that this research details; and (3) not all assessed organizations comply with the capacity’s indicators developed from the framework of Antlöv et al. (2010). The limitations, contribution to the knowledge gap and scientific discussion, as well as suggestions for future research, are also discussed. | |
