BGN Facilitates Access to MBG Beneficiary Data Validation, Public Can Check Directly, Here's the Link

JAKARTA - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) is facilitating open access to the validation of beneficiary data for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme, allowing the public and stakeholders in the regions to check it easily.

Deputy Head of BGN’s Operational Division for Nutrition Fulfilment, Sony Sonjaya, stated that the public can directly access the official website to ensure that beneficiary data is recorded.

“You can access the URL validasidatapm.bgn.go.id. Please check if the school is already registered or not,” said Sony at the BGN Building in Jakarta on Thursday (23/4/2026).

This openness of access allows various parties to monitor data developments directly.

He said that this access is also utilised by inter-ministerial bodies up to local governments to accelerate the validation process for greater accuracy and integration.

“We at BGN, the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, the Ministry of National Development Planning, and the Ministry of Health can access that data,” said Sony.

Data access is not only available at the central level but also reaches local governments down to districts/cities.

Thus, the number of beneficiaries can be known more accurately in every region.

In the initial stage of accelerating validation, BGN provides a special website that can be used by field stakeholders to directly check data.

In the future, BGN will develop a more comprehensive data integration system through application programming interface (API) to synchronise data from various ministries as data custodians.

Sony detailed that student data from kindergarten, early childhood education, primary school, junior high school, senior high school, special needs school to community learning centres is under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, while madrasah and boarding school data is managed by the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

He added that out of a total of 405 priority districts/cities, 81 regions are categorised as food insecure, 279 regions are classified as areas with high poverty rates, and 304 regions have high stunting prevalence.

This data serves as a reference for sharpening the MBG programme targets to be more on point.
