Abstract

According to the components of good governance, which is the result of the World Bank and the United Nations, the fight against corruption is one of the most important components of good governance. Various factors such as the government, the private sector, and civil society are involved in the fight against corruption. However, the impartiality of civil societies' and non-governmental organizations have factors that can increase their effective and efficient participation in the fight against corruption. The present study uses a descriptive-analytical method to investigate the role of specialized civil society and non-governmental organizations in the fight against corruption in IRI and the Philippines. The findings of this study indicate that in the Philippines, specialized civil societies and non-governmental organizations such as the organization "Citizens Concerned for the Establishment of Good Cloud Governance", "Organization for the Procurement of Government Items and Procurement", "Accountability and Transparency Network" and The Association of Thousand Christian Members in the Government are the civil and non-governmental organizations active in the fight against corruption in this country in the Southeast Asian region. At present, in the fight against corruption in IRI, the decision making is done through governmental institutions in parallel, but from September 2015 a civil society has been activated as Watch Transparency and Justice. Although very good laws have been passed by the Islamic Consultative Assembly and these laws have recognized the role of civil and non-governmental organizations, but in terms of structure and behavior compared to Southeast Asia, there is a considerable gap, and in principle, specialized civil and non-governmental organizations do not play a significant role in the fight against corruption, but basically such institutions have not been established comprehensively and it is necessary to recognize the role of these institutions based on a comparative study. To be supported by the government and while recognizing these specialized institutions, these tools should also be used in the fight against administrative and economic corruption.
