Data are collected mainly from interviews, documents, researchers’ participation in Usaid-funded Madani programs in Surakarta 2021-2023, and further participation in Bakesbangpol - National and Political Unity Agency in Surakarta’s self-management type III implementation in 2023. Data are also collected from contemporary articles on CSOs and self-management-related issues. The research finds that there are no significant barriers to implementing self-management type III in Surakarta city unless both the local government unit and implementing CSO need to learn and adapt to procedures of implementation and reporting. On specific CSOs' side, they need to improve their legitimacy and specify services.
