        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) to regulate and suspend substandard kitchens and Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) that fail to meet technical guidelines, particularly those causing extraordinary incidents or involved in price markups and supplier monopolies. He emphasised targeting the free nutritious meal programme (MBG) at truly needy children from vulnerable families, avoiding waste on affluent recipients, and ensuring voluntary participation without coercion. This directive aims to enhance the programme's effectiveness in improving national nutrition, with strengthened oversight to ensure targeted and impactful implementation.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has instructed that kitchens or Nutrition\nFulfilment Service Units (SPPG) not complying with technical guidelines\n(juknis) be rectified. This was stated by Prabowo while greeting Nanik S\nDeyang, Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) for Public\nCommunication and Investigation, following a working meeting with\nmembers of the Red and White Cabinet, Echelon I Ministry and Agency\nofficials, and state-owned enterprise directors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c The President has ordered that poor-quality kitchens or those not\nfollowing the juknis be rectified,\u201d said Nanik on Wednesday (8\/4).<\/p>\n<p>Nanik also reported to the President that she continues to suspend or\ntemporarily close SPPGs not complying with juknis, which cause\nextraordinary incidents (KLB), including cases where partners engage in\nmarkups on raw material prices, supplier monopolies, and others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c Good, continue it,\u201d said the President while giving a thumbs up, as\nimitated by Nanik.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to ordering the regulation of SPPGs, the President also\nrequested that the provision of MBG be directed to beneficiaries who\ntruly need nutritional improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c So, for children of affluent families, they do not need MBG because\ntheir parents can already provide good nutritious food at home,\u201d\nexplained Nanik, adding that she will form a team to screen MBG\nrecipients to ensure they are on target and not wasteful.<\/p>\n<p>The President also emphasised that the implementation of MBG should\nnot be forced, especially for affluent community groups or schools that\nstate they do not need the programme; they should not be compelled to\naccept it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c The President conveyed that this programme must not be forced. MBG\nshould be focused on children who truly need nutritional improvement,\u201d\nexplained Nanik.<\/p>\n<p>According to Nanik, a needs-based approach is key to making this\nprogramme truly effective in improving community nutrition quality,\nespecially for vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c We want to ensure MBG is on target and has a real impact.\nTherefore, supervision and evaluation will continue to be strengthened\nso that this programme runs optimally,\u201d concluded Nanik.<\/p>",
