The Contribution of Community Self-Reliance Facilitators to Strengthening National Defense in Indonesian Villages

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the contribution of Community Self-Reliance Facilitators to Indonesia’s national defense by examining their role within the Total Defense System at the village level. Using a qualitative literature review, this paper explores the intersection of key concepts: community empowerment and non-military defense. The findings reveal that facilitators are pivotal agents who translate development outcomes into tangible defense contributions by fostering social resilience, promoting economic self-reliance, and enhancing local capacity. This research bridges the gap between civilian development initiatives and national defense strategy, offering a framework for integrated policies that leverage community empowerment as a cornerstone of national resilience.
