BGN: Video Conference Services for Coordination and Education in the MBG Programme

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has clarified the procurement of video conference services valued at Rp5.7 billion for the period April to December 2026, stating that it is intended to support coordination and education for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Programme.

BGN Head Dadan Hindayana said the service is prepared to support the implementation of the MBG Programme, which requires extensive coordination, uniform delivery of technical guidance, and education to various stakeholders at central and regional levels.

“The MBG Programme involves many parties, from the centre, local governments, service units, to field implementers. In such situations, rapid, simultaneous, and documented coordination becomes an important part of the programme’s success,” Dadan stated in an official release in Jakarta on Saturday.

According to him, the video conference service is a centralised enterprise system managed by BGN’s Data and Information Centre (Pusdatin) with a capacity of around 5,000 active users and the ability to accommodate up to 50,000 participants in a single virtual meeting session.

The service will be used by the entire BGN organisational structure, from high-level leaders (equivalent to echelon I), primary high-level leaders (equivalent to echelon II), administrative officials (equivalent to echelon III), to heads of Regional Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) in the regions.

The large capacity support enables BGN to reach tens of thousands of participants at once, including implementers in various regions who require direct guidance from the centre.

“We want to ensure that messages, directives, and implementation guidelines can be received intact by implementers in various regions. This need is part of the work system to maintain the quality of programme implementation,” he added.
