        "summary": "Indonesia's House of Representatives is mobilising community participation to monitor implementation of the government's Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme across Serang City, with 74 service units currently active. The initiative underscores the importance of public engagement in ensuring equitable distribution and effective impact of the national nutritional assistance scheme.",
        "content": "<p>The success of the programme does not only depend on the central\ngovernment or the technical implementers, but also on the active\ninvolvement of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Tangerang (ANTARA) \u2013 Member of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives (DPR RI) Commission IX, Tubagus Haerul Jaman, is\ninvolving the community to help monitor the implementation of the Free\nNutritious Meal (MBG) programme in Serang City, Banten.<\/p>\n<p>He said that this programme is not just about providing food, but a\nmajor effort by the state to ensure that every beneficiary receives\nadequate, balanced, and sustainable nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am optimistic that, with proper implementation and support from\nall parties through monitoring, this programme can have a real impact,\nespecially for the community in Serang City,\u201d said Haerul Jaman in a\nstatement received in Tangerang.<\/p>\n<p>He also explained that the implementation of MBG in various regions\nshows positive developments and continues to be improved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe invite all elements of society to work together to oversee,\nsupport, and actively participate in this programme. With strong\nsynergy, we can ensure that the benefits are truly felt widely and\nequitably,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Serang City Health Office recorded that as many as 74 Nutritional\nPreparation Service Units (SPPG) have been operating actively throughout\nSerang City. With the support of an integrated data system, SPPG is\noptimistic that the distribution of this national nutritional assistance\ncan run effectively while still prioritizing local wisdom and the needs\nof the community during the holy month.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the SD Dindikbud Coaching Division of Serang City, Reni\nRafiani, said that school participation in the MBG programme during\nRamadan is voluntary and without any coercion, in order to respect the\ninternal policies of each educational institution.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Regional Coordinator of the Nutritional Preparation\nService Unit (SPPG) of Serang City, Nuni Pratiwi, added that schools\nthat continue to participate are also given flexibility in arranging the\nschedule for distributing food packages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe provide flexibility for schools to determine the distribution\nschedule based on mutual agreement. This adjustment is made so that the\nMBG programme does not disrupt the solemnity of fasting worship or the\nchanging learning schedules,\u201d said Nuni.<\/p>",
