Abstract

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are important actors in sustainable development. This organization is considered the core of civil society that not only actively encourages the provision of public services and democratization but also oversees and criticizes the policy of the unfair state. Although the number continues to increase (in year 2000, the number reached 13.400), but in fact they have not been able to give achievements in the management of natural resources and environment. The research was conducted on environmental NGOs in 3 different regions (Yogyakarta, Kolaka and Muna) with the objective of measuring their performance in reforestation activities based on legal, technical and social aspects. Data collection was done by using Close Ended Questionnaire, where each criterion and indicator was assessed based on scoring system, which refers to system: One Score One Indicator Scoring System (Avenzora, 2008). To interpret each value the Phenomenology approach was used, while to see the difference of perspective from each stakeholder, Kruskall Wallis analysis was used. The results showed that the performance of environmental NGOs in reforestation activities was not effective and sustainable. This was shown by poorly score of 2 and/or rather poor score of 3 of each assessment criteria value in legal, technical and social aspects.
