Morphology
nongovernment = government (transparent) = non + government
The negative prefix 'non-' is productively attached to 'government', yielding the straightforward adjectival meaning 'not government/related to government'.
Etymology
Nongovernment breaks into non- 'not' and government 'the people who run a country or organization', so it describes something that is 'not run or controlled by the government'.
