APPMBGI, led by Abdul Rivai Ras, serves as a platform for stakeholders to ensure compliance with national nutrition standards, provide education, supervision, and constructive criticism for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) initiative, a flagship project under President Prabowo Subianto aimed at achieving Golden Indonesia 2045. The association maintains its independence, funding operations through member contributions without seeking government perks like electric motorcycles for MBG activities.",
        "content": "<p>The Head of the Special Development Control and Investigation Agency\n(Bappisus), Aris Marsudiyanto, stated that the Indonesian Association of\nEntrepreneurs and Managers of Free Nutritious Meals Kitchens (APPMBGI)\ndoes not receive any funding from the government. Aris emphasised that\nthe association is purely non-governmental.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think there is any (funding from the government), because\nthis is purely non-government. I think everything comes from the\nassociation itself, and we welcome this because all stakeholders are\nactively and constructively monitoring rather than just criticising\nwithout taking real action. We appreciate that,\u201d said Aris Marsudiyanto\nto reporters at the APPMBGI National Summit in East Jakarta on Saturday\n(25\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of APPMBGI, Abdul Rivai Ras, said the association is a\ngathering place for entrepreneurs, supporters, and owners of Free\nNutritious Meals (MBG) kitchens. Abdul stated that APPMBGI plays a role\nin providing education, monitoring, supervision, and guidance to ensure\nthat the distributed MBG meets the standards of the National Nutrition\nAgency (BGN).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey unite, meet, and interact within one association platform,\nparticularly to address the supply chain. Secondly, APPMBGI was born to\nadvocate for the sustainability of free nutritious meals. Therefore,\nAPPMBGI has a role in conducting supervision, providing education, and\nsocialising regulations,\u201d said Abdul Rivai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncluding how to provide advocacy to them so that their MBG or SPPG\nmeets the standards and certification as required,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Abdul said APPMBGI will also provide constructive criticism for\nimprovements related to the MBG programme. Moreover, he noted that the\nMBG programme is still relatively young.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, this association is also escorting the national policy of\nthe government under Mr Prabowo Subianto, where this is a flagship\nproject towards Golden Indonesia in 2045. However, we still provide\nconstructive criticism for improvements on what is happening in the\nfield because the MBG programme is indeed still relatively young,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>Abdul emphasised that APPMBGI is an independent association. He said\nAPPMBGI members will also not receive allocations of electric\nmotorcycles used for MBG operational activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are an independent organisation, not receiving sources from\nanywhere, certainly from members for members. Like other organisations,\nif there are dues, there are dues to run the organisation,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
