History

The agency is established as a replacement for the Ministry of Religious Affairs' Research, Development, Education, and Training Agency which already integrated with National Research and Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, BRIN) as part of the Research Organization for Social Sciences and Humanities (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial dan Humaniora, ORIPSH) and Research Organization for Archaeology, Language, and Letters (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Arkeologi, Bahasa, dan Sastra, ORARBASTRA). The integration left only the former agency's Education and Training part to not be integrated into BRIN. Eventually, the Center for Religious Harmony (Indonesian: Pusat Kerukunan Umat Beragama) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs also merged with the remnant of the former Research, Development, Education, and Training Agency. The amalgamation resulted in the formation of the BMBPSDM. [2] [3]

The first head of the agency is Suyitno, a Ministry of Religious Affairs official. [4]

The Nine Measures

The agency developed the strategic programs and policies for the Ministry's policies known as The Nine Measures on 5 February 2023. [5] The Nine Measures are:

  1. Acceleration of religious moderation to prevent the misuse of religious teachings for identity politics.
  2. Advocation of worship places building.
  3. Community empowerment and development of early warning system for intolerant religious activities and religious conflicts.
