        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has indicated that the\nbudget for the 2027 Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme has not been\nfinalised. Deputy Head of BGN Agustina Arumsari stated that the agency\nhas received an indicative budget ceiling of Rp270,201,499,678 from the\nMinistry of Finance and the Ministry of National Development Planning\n(Bappenas).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor 2027, we have received an indicative allocation of\nRp270,201,499,678. That is for 81.5 million beneficiaries in 2027,\u201d Arum\nsaid, as quoted on Tuesday, 16 June 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Arum explained that the agency is still conducting evaluations,\nmeaning the figure could potentially be streamlined further. \u201cWe are\nstill exercising how much more we can make efficient. For now, once\nagain, this is not final because it has not yet been discussed,\u201d she\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>One of the steps BGN will take is evaluating the beneficiaries of the\nFree Nutritious Meals programme. The agency has coordinated with the\nMinistry of Health regarding this matter. Furthermore, Arum said BGN\nwill improve the governance of MBG kitchens, known as Nutrition\nFulfilment Service Units (SPPG).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat will be one of the impacts of the refocusing. Internally, BGN\nwill also undergo a transformation, from its human resources to its\ngovernance,\u201d Arum added.<\/p>",
