        "summary": "The National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) has launched the Desa Siapsiaga programme, which not only aims to prevent radicalism through community-based early detection but also fosters economic self-reliance via locally driven productive activities. In a kick-off workshop in Menes, Banten, the initiative integrates counter-terrorism resilience with economic empowerment, such as producing paving blocks using coal ash waste from a local power plant, in collaboration with PLN Indonesia Power and local government. This programme aligns with President Prabowo's RPJMN 2025-2029, promoting synergy in defence, security, and village development to enhance social resilience and local economic growth.",

At the kick-off\nworkshop in Menes, Banten, on Thursday (23\/4), BNPT Head Eddy Hartono\nsaid the Desa Siapsiaga programme develops community-based early\ndetection, while strengthening residents\u2019 resilience against the threat\nof radical terrorist ideologies. \u201cThis programme also simultaneously\nempowers village economies based on local potential,\u201d said Eddy, as\nconfirmed in Jakarta on Friday. He emphasised that cross-sector\ncollaboration is key to the programme\u2019s success, so BNPT, through Desa\nSiapsiaga, collaborates with PLN Indonesia Power to ensure the workshop\nor seminar builds an economic ecosystem. BNPT held the kick-off seminar\non making paving blocks, or concrete bricks, as an implementation of the\nDesa Siapsiaga programme that integrates strengthening community\nresilience against terrorist radicalism threats with local economic\nempowerment. Eddy explained that the activity is a follow-up to the\nlaunch of the Desa Siapsiaga programme in December 2025, conducted\ntogether with the Ministry of Villages and Underdeveloped Regions\nDevelopment (PDT), and is also part of the government\u2019s programme\nimplementation in the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN)\n2025\u20132029. \u201cThis is an implementation programme of Father President\nPrabowo as outlined in the RPJMN, where we carry out synergy in defence\nand security to carry out prevention and also build from the village,\u201d\nhe said. Meanwhile, Senior Manager of PLN Indonesia Power Business Unit\nPower Plant (UBP) PLTU Banten 2, Wisnu Kurniawan, expressed full support\nfor the programme as part of the commitment to community empowerment.\n\u201cWe from PT Indonesia Power fully support the Desa Siapsiaga programme\nfrom BNPT. We support the construction of the paving block workshop by\nutilising coal combustion waste from the Labuan PLTU,\u201d said Wisnu on the\nsame occasion. He explained that the utilisation of FABA not only\nreduces waste but also improves product quality. The waste in the form\nof FABA is very beneficial for enhancing the quality of the paving\nblocks produced. On the other hand, Menes Sub-District Head Usep\nSudarmana welcomed the programme\u2019s presence, which is seen as bringing\npositive impacts to the local community. \u201cThis is a breath of fresh air\nfor all of us. Hopefully, after this, the workshop can run as we all\nhope, namely helping to empower the Menes community,\u201d said Usep. Through\nsynergy between BNPT, PLN Indonesia Power, local government, and village\ncommunities, the Desa Siapsiaga programme is expected to strengthen\nsocial resilience while encouraging economic growth based on local\npotential in the Menes area.<\/p>",
