Parents and schools will soon be able to monitor the Free Nutritious\nMeal (MBG) programme through a digital portal being prepared by the\nNational Nutrition Agency (BGN). Through the portal, parents and schools\nwill be able to view daily menus, nutritional content, and information\nabout the kitchens preparing the food. The portal is currently in the\npreparation stage and is targeted for launch within approximately one to\ntwo weeks, allowing schools and parents to monitor the implementation of\nthe MBG programme.<\/p>\n
Head of BGN, Sudaryono, stated that the portal is an effort to\nincrease transparency in the programme\u2019s implementation. He noted that\nschools and parents are the stakeholders most concerned with the quality\nof the nutritional services provided to children. \"We are trying to\nprepare a portal where the MBG stakeholders who are most concerned,\nnamely schools and parents, can check where their child goes to school,\nwhat menu the state provides, what the photo is, what the nutritional\ncontent is, what is served today, tomorrow, and yesterday,\" Sudaryono\nexplained during a press conference in Central Jakarta on Wednesday\n(29\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
In addition to daily menu information, the portal will also display\nthe location of the Nutrition Fulfilment Service Unit (SPPG), the\nkitchen address, and the person in charge of the kitchen preparing the\nmeals. This will allow parents to obtain more complete information about\nthe MBG their children receive at school. \"We are preparing this for\ntransparency, including the address where the food is cooked at the\nSPPG, the address, and who the Head of SPPG is. So we want to inform the\nmost concerned parties, in this case parents, about what kind of food\nservice their children are receiving at school,\" Sudaryono said.<\/p>\n
Sudaryono added that this transparency is expected to reduce\nmisunderstandings or incorrect information regarding the implementation\nof the MBG programme. Parents can obtain information directly through\nthe government-provided portal, without having to rely on information\ncirculating on social media or other platforms. \"This is to prevent\ndifferent interpretations from arising, which might be uploaded on\nsocial media and become misleading,\" Sudaryono stated.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/parents-and-schools-to-monitor-free-nutritious-meal-programme-via-digital-portal-1785387074", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
