IDRAP (Institute for Development of Rural and Indigenous People) is a civil society organization that works to realize the basic rights of rural communities to development. This is considered very important to place the community in a harmonious and peaceful life and perevent them from potential social conflicts.

IDRAP was initially established in 1999, which was inspired by concerns over the condition of the people in North Buton who are in abundance of natural resources but live in poverty, isolation and backwardness. After several years of being active as a voluntary group, a substantial change occurred on 24 October 2003 when IDRAP was officially registered as a non-profit and non-governmental organization.

The general objective of establishing IDRAP is to contribute directly or indirectly to the development of indigenous peoples and rural communities in Southeast Sulawesi independently and sustainably. Developing community capacity in terms of democracy and basic rights of citizens, improving health quality, increasing income, and preserving the environment were IDRAP's 4 main mandates when it was established with a charitable approach.

Enactment of the Village Law (UU No. 6/2014) with the delegation of four authorities to be managed by the village itself was an important moment for the village to improve towards self-help. For IDRAP, since this era of Village Law, the community development with charitable approach becomes obsolete. Because of that, the approach shall be changed to an empowerment approach.
