SINERGITAS PEMERINTAH BERSAMA ORMAS ISLAM DALAM MEWUJUDKAN DEMOKRATISASI

Community organizations are a place for people to gather and achieve the goals of the community group. There are various types of mass organizations in Indonesia which until 2024 numbered more than 512 thousand mass organizations, one of which is an Islamic mass organization that has even existed before Indonesia succeeded in achieving independence. Islamic mass organizations have played an important role in supporting democratization in Indonesia, with a large number of organizations and accompanied by a large number of members, Islamic mass organizations are considered to have made various contributions in building the nation both independently and in synergy with the government both at the central and regional levels.
The research aimed at reviewing the synergy between the government and Islamic mass organizations in the context of democratization was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method in which the need to fulfill information was obtained through interviews, documentation and observation at the Ministry of Home Affairs in the period from August to September 2023. Based on the results of the study, it is known that society through Islamic mass organizations has made various contributions as stated in the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 58 of 2017 concerning Government Cooperation with Community Organizations which focuses on politics and general government.
The synergy is carried out by emphasizing a number of aspects such as strengthening diversity and social restoration, election security stability, and a number of other activities in the scope of politics and general government. However, of course, in synergizing, the government sets a number of fairly strict criteria to maintain the sustainability of the synergy between the government and Islamic mass organizations as stated in Article 15 of the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 58 of 2017
