rdf:langString The National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) (Urdu: قومی مختاریہ برائے انسدادِ دہشت گردی), commonly called Nacta, is a Pakistani internal security organization responsible for making counter terrorism and counter extremism policies and strategies. It also develops action plans against terrorism and extremism and reviews their implementation. It is mandated to devise a counter-terrorism strategy that should address short, medium and long-term goals and devise action plans for their implementation. It formulates threat assessments with periodic reviews. It advises the Federal Government on making adequate and timely efforts to counter terrorism and extremism. NACTA was initially set up in 2008, administratively, but its powers and mandate has been clearly spelled out in March 2013, under an Act of Parliament called NACTA Act 2013. The NACTA 2013 Act sets up the framework of the organization.
