Abstract
The National Action Plan (NAP) was issued after the Army Public
School attack in 2014. However, after over nine years of the plan, it is
still unclear how effective it is in eradicating terrorism and extremism.
This study is an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of the NAP. This
study utilized Eric Van Um and Daniela Pisoiu’s Model of Effectiveness
as an analytical tool to assess the effectiveness of the NAP. Based on 30
in-depth interviews with policymakers, practitioners, and activists, it
is argued that the NAP has only partially achieved its goals, while the
hard measures of the plan have failed to give enough attention to the
soft measures to succeed in the desired goals.
