This concept provides new activities for development, which are "social participation, productivity, empowering, and sustainable". The role of empowerment is also an effort to foster participation and independence to provide an impact on the individual, group, institutional and community level to have much better welfare. Governments and NGOs have an important role as stakeholders in enhancing empowerment, especially for the poor and disadvantaged areas. To support the potential and equity of empowerment, it needs an inherent form between institutions and NGOs in the program.

The purpose of writing this paper is to be able to see the potential and development of economic empowerment implemented by institutions and NGOs, and provide strategies to establish synergies between institutions and government institutions.
