Of course, we hope that this analytical study can be discussed and get wider feedback from various groupsJakarta (ANTARA) - The National Counter Terrorism Agency (BNPT) launched four knowledge products in the form of results of analyses and studies related to countering violent extremism that leads to terrorism in Indonesia.
"Today, we released a knowledge product that we uploaded on a digital platform called the Indonesia Knowledge Hub (I-KHub) BNPT," Head of BNPT Rycko Amelza Dahniel stated at the JS Luwansa Hotel in Jakarta, Wednesday.
The BNPT head explained that the four knowledge products launched were I-KHub BNPT Counter Terrorism and Violent Extremism Outlook, K-HUb PCVE Outlook, Mid-Term Evaluation RAN PE, and Analysis of Local Government Readiness to implement RAN PE.
Dahniel explained that the four knowledge products were written collaboratively with a multi-stakeholder and multidisciplinary perspective involving civil society organizations, experts or academics, and development partners.
"These four knowledge products are the result of collaboration rather than being multidisciplinary as well as multi-stakeholder (in nature). (This is) not only between government agencies but also cooperation with various parties from abroad," he stated.
Dahniel noted that the launch of these knowledge products was an effort by the BNPT to conduct studies on development trends and evaluate efforts to prevent and deal with violent extremism that leads to terrorism in the country.
"Of course, this is based on a response to the dynamics and challenges of violent extremism that leads to terrorism, which has changed from time to time," Dahniel remarked.
These knowledge products are also an effort by the BNPT to follow up on Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 7 of 2021 on the National Action Plan for the Prevention and Mitigation of Violent-Based Extremism Leading to Terrorism (RAN PE).
"The president has issued a RAN PE Presidential Decree that emphasizes the importance of providing and supporting data, research, and risk options in the context of preventing and overcoming violent-based extremism that leads to terrorism on a regular and ongoing basis," Dahniel stated.
The BNPT head is optimistic that the four knowledge products launched will become material for further discussion to tackle violent extremism that leads to terrorism in Indonesia.
"Of course, we hope that this analytical study can be discussed and get wider feedback from various groups," Dahniel affirmed.
