        "content": "<p>Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) for Public\nCommunication and Investigation Nanik S. Deyang fully supports the\ngovernment\u2019s budget efficiency measures to ensure the effective\ndistribution of the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BGN respects and follows government directives, particularly\nfrom the Ministry of Finance (MoF), regarding national budget efficiency\nmeasures. These adjustments target operational spending to ensure more\neffective budget usage and maximum impact,\u201d Nanik stated in Jakarta on\nFriday.<\/p>\n<p>Nanik highlighted that the synergy between the MoF and BGN has been\neffective in ensuring the sustainability of the MBG programme as one of\nPresident Prabowo Subianto\u2019s national strategic initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe collaboration between the MoF and BGN demonstrates the\ngovernment\u2019s joint commitment to maintaining the quality of the MBG\nprogramme while ensuring transparent, accountable, and sustainable\nbudget management,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>By 24 May 2026, the MBG programme has reached approximately 62.4\nmillion beneficiaries through 29,225 SPPG distribution points across\nIndonesia. The government ensures the programme remains optimally\noperational despite efficiency adjustments in certain operational\nareas.<\/p>\n<p>According to Nanik, budget efficiency presents an opportunity to\nstrengthen programme implementation, ensuring it is more targeted and\neffective for those in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur primary principle is to ensure optimal service for\nbeneficiaries. Efficiency does not mean reducing the government\u2019s\ncommitment to the MBG programme but enhancing its effectiveness to\ndeliver broader and sustainable benefits,\u201d Nanik added.<\/p>",
