The article aims to show that, currently, the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) shall not be associated solely with business, but has been successfully absorbed in public administration. Theoreticians' views as to the possibility (or even necessity) of applying the concept of social responsibility in public administration are confirmed by the activities of public administration institutions at the central level in Poland. The subjects of the study were manifestations of the implementation of the CSR concept on two levels: 1) policy planning (based on the example of selected key strategic documents in the field of development policy from the last decade) and 2) operational activities of public administration. The article analyses the database on Good CSR Practices of Public Administration, gathered at the forum of the Working Group on Corporate Social Responsibility of Public Administration, operating at the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy since 2018. The article also presents pioneering CSR reports published by three central public administrative institutions, whose representatives participated in the work of the group. The results of the analysis of the database and reports lead to the conclusion that, in Poland, the concept of CSR at the central administration level is implemented by institutions, although only occasionally reported. CSR should be considered an inherent part of modern public governance models constituting the paradigm of public administration activity.

The Implementation of CSR in Indonesia, most of them are not run in accordance with the existing theory because the government and society in CSR activities are not fully authorised to engage in these activities, due to the fact that private sector directly manages the CSR fund. Thus, the theory of governance puts three pillars as a principal provider of public service life, those are, (1) the state, (2) the civil society and (3) the private sector.  CSR has to involve all parts or elements which know about CSR, with a focus on the implementation of CSR has to be published and transparent;  the CSR Fund is administered by a forum / team through a memorandum of understanding facilitated by the government in accordance with its role as mandating, facilitating, partnering, and endorsing; the CSR forum consists of government, private sector, and society; the form of regional regulation on CSR by reference to Constitution Number 40 of 2007 on the Limited Liability Private sectors and Government Regulation Number 47 of 2012 on Corporate Social Responsibility so that CSR is considered as one of the important instruments in public administration.
