The Indonesian government, through the Presidential Chief of Staff Dudung Abdurachman, has reaffirmed its commitment to continuing the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG). This confirmation comes despite ongoing internal restructuring within the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), the body responsible for implementing the program. Abdurachman emphasized the program will proceed while improvements are made to its governance and oversight mechanisms. The government acknowledges the need for internal adjustments at BGN to ensure the program’s effectiveness and accountability. These changes aim to strengthen the program’s management and monitoring processes. The continuation of MBG signals a sustained focus on improving child nutrition across Indonesia. Further details regarding the restructuring of BGN and specific improvements to the program are expected to be announced soon.
