Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the opportunity of building the synergy between the government and private sector to accelerate the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). From the content analysis, the indicators of CSR from various CSR Guidelines have the same motives and goals with those of MDGs. This indicates that CSR can be harmonised with government programs to achieve the MDGs. The individual and external environment aspect has less significant effect; institutional aspect becomes the central of attention in this study. The harmonisation mechanism between government and private sector in Indonesia is formulated through focus group discussion. The development programs designed by Indonesian government should comply with the principles of German government in AP 2015. Other countries can benefit this study that has same goal to achieve MDGs in 2015.
