These funds are believed to expand the reach of\nempowerment programmes and increase Baznas\u2019s capacity to assist the\npoor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine if we are able to collect Rp18 trillion per year, how many\npeople could be helped? How many of our nation\u2019s problems could we\nresolve? This is a real potential right in front of us,\u201d said Idy\nMuzayyad.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Erni Juliana, a Senior Expert at the Deputy II of the\nPresidential Staff Office (KSP), explained that the audience aimed to\nalign zakat management programmes with various presidential priority\nprogrammes, including the eradication of extreme poverty, the handling\nof stunting, and the strengthening of the Sharia economic and financial\nsectors.<\/p>\n<p>She noted that the Government is also encouraging the strengthening\nof the Sharia economic ecosystem, alongside plans to transform the\nNational Committee for Islamic Economy and Finance (KNEKS) into the\nSharia Economic Agency.<\/p>",
