The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has responded to circulating\nclaims that its incentive policy for nutrition service facilities (SPPG)\nconstitutes wasteful spending. BGN head Dadan Hindayana asserted that\nthe Rp 6 million daily incentive scheme represents an efficient strategy\nwith minimal risk, rather than profligacy.<\/p>\n
Dadan outlined several fundamental principles underpinning the\npartnership scheme. Firstly, the Rp 6 million daily payment is not\ndevelopment funding from the state budget but rather forms part of the\npayment mechanism for SPPG services already in operation. All physical\ninfrastructure development is conducted through independent investment\nby partners.<\/p>\n
Secondly, partners bear all risks comprehensively, from construction\nand operational implementation through to evaluation and natural\ndisaster liability. For instance, when one SPPG facility in Aceh\nsuffered flood damage, the losses fell entirely upon the partner and not\nBGN, with partners obligated to reconstruct without additional state\nbudget burden.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs occurred in Aceh when an SPPG was swept away by floods, the\npartner bore the loss, not BGN\u2014they had to rebuild. Thus we transfer\ntotal risk to the partner, which is why I say the Rp 6 million is highly\nefficient because BGN expends not a single rupiah on maintenance,\nrepairs, and so forth,\u201d Dadan stated in an official statement on Friday,\n27 February 2026.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Dadan noted that partner-led construction necessarily\noperates more efficiently since partners cannot markup costs to\nthemselves. Partners will construct facilities optimally according to\nservice requirements.<\/p>\n
One example cited was the SPPG construction by Persatuan Islam\n(Persis), which Dadan assessed as excellent with an investment value of\napproximately Rp 3 billion. \u201cI observed yesterday that the SPPG\nconstructed by the Persatuan Islam Islamic Boarding School was\nexceptionally fine, built with three billion rupiah in funding. I am\nconfident that if constructed with state budget funding, it would cost\nsix billion, so we have already achieved more than 50 per cent\nefficiency,\u201d Dadan stated.<\/p>\n
The most strategically valuable aspect, according to Dadan, is the\nadvantage in time efficiency. Through the partnership scheme,\nrepresentative facilities can be completed in approximately two months.\n\u201cFacilities as elegant as those of Persis, the Police, or other fine\nbuildings can be completed within two months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Utilising the state budget, Dadan explained, involves substantially\nlonger processes owing to various consultations and procedures. \u201cFirst,\nconsultants must be appointed. Planning consultants take how many\nmonths? Two months. Then correspondence to local government for land\nlease, how many months? One month,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
The process continues beyond this point, Dadan explained, and once\nland is obtained, surveying can reveal unsuitability. \u201cThen what\nhappens? You must relocate. When relocating, what happens? Permission\nmust be sought from the Ministry of Finance to shift the\nlocation\u2014another month. All completed. What next? Tender. A 45-day\ntender. Whilst partner-built facilities are completed within 45 days,\u201d\nDadan recounted.<\/p>\n
Currently, BGN operates 24,122 SPPG facilities, all constructed\nthrough the partnership scheme and operational. Average construction\nreaches 50 SPPG facilities per day. This achievement evidences that the\npartnership approach delivers significant acceleration whilst preserving\nefficiency and budgetary accountability.<\/p>\n
BGN therefore contends that the Rp 6 million daily SPPG facility\nincentive policy represents not wasteful expenditure but rather a\nstrategy ensuring nutrition service delivery proceeds rapidly and\nefficiently whilst minimising state fiscal risk, whilst upholding good\ngovernance principles.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bgn-claims-rp-6-million-daily-incentive-for-nutrition-facilities-is-efficient-1772175665", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
