Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Indonesian National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) is focusing on strengthening community resilience to prevent people from becoming vulnerable to radical ideology amid an evolving terrorism threat landscape.Head of BNPT Eddy Hartono said changes in the threat landscape have forced counterterrorism approaches to continuously adapt.”While the focus was previously directed more toward preventing acts of terrorism, building community resilience has now become equally important,” he said when contacted in Jakarta on Wednesday.He noted that while the digital era has made information more accessible, it has also created various threats, such as violent extremist propaganda, hate speech, and recruitment drives for radical groups, which now circulate more heavily in digital spaces.”As digital technology continues to advance, threats continue to evolve, becoming increasingly adaptive and persistent,” he noted.Marking its 16th anniversary, BNPT reaffirmed this commitment under the theme “Collaborate to Protect Indonesia”, emphasizing that safeguarding Indonesia from the threat of radicalism and terrorism is a shared responsibility across all elements of society.Eddy stated that, for over a decade, BNPT has developed a preventive strategy involving ministries and agencies, regional governments, academics, religious and community leaders, the business sector, media, and local communities.He added that this collaborative approach is carried out through various programs, such as Peace Schools, National Campuses, Alert Villages, the strengthening of Counterterrorism Coordination Forums, and the establishment of a cross-sectoral Counter-Radicalization Task Force.Countering terrorism, he stressed, requires synergy and collaboration rooted in a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach—a comprehensive framework involving both the government and the public to support President Prabowo Subianto's Asta Cita agenda, as outlined in the 2025–2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN).According to him, the focus of the approach is not solely on preventing the spread of radical ideology, but on building a more resilient community through enhanced digital literacy, strengthened civic awareness, and socioeconomic empowerment.Eddy cited Cirebon District in West Java as an example, where the Alert Village program developed biofloc catfish farming, opening up business opportunities for the community while strengthening social cohesion through productive economic activities.He said that experiences across various regions demonstrate that terrorism prevention is about more than just security.When communities have access to education, employment, opportunities for participation, and a healthy social environment, their resilience against the infiltration of radical ideas grows stronger.”Through the spirit of collaboration to protect Indonesia, let us strengthen synergy across institutions, the education sector, religious leaders, the media, the business sector, communities, and the broader public,” Eddy said.
