Entrepreneurs Introduce Digital Solution for MBG Auditing and Reporting
JAKARTA — The Indonesian Association of Nutritious Food Entrepreneurs (Gapembi) has launched the ANTRA by GAPEMBI digital application as an integrated solution to support the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG).
Gapembi General Chairman Alven Stony stated that ANTRA was developed from various inputs from field actors who require a more transparent and accountable reporting system.
“This is a real solution to support and ensure the success of the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG). We want to ensure that all processes, both production and reporting, run effectively and can be accounted for,” Alven said in a press release on Wednesday (1/4/2026).
Through the integrated system, data can be accessed more easily and transparently, thereby facilitating the auditing process by various parties.
Gapembi General Secretary Hasan Basri said that the presence of ANTRA enables implementing foundations to monitor activities in real time.
“Through ANTRA, foundations can directly monitor the implementation of the MBG programme. This will improve the quality of supervision while strengthening accountability,” Hasan stated.
He also mentioned that the implementation of ANTRA will soon be expanded to all Regional Leadership Councils (DPW) and Branch Leadership Councils (DPC) of Gapembi.
This step is expected to position Gapembi not only as an implementer but also as an internal supervisory force through its members.
Meanwhile, Founder and Initiator of ANTRA Aditia Pratama explained that the application has undergone trials at several SPPG sites in South Sulawesi.
Aditia said that ANTRA not only focuses on reporting budget usage but also ensures the nutritional quality of the food distributed in the MBG programme.
“We want to address the emerging issues, whether this is just food distribution or truly meets nutritional quality standards. ANTRA enables systematic menu preparation and real-time nutritional distribution reporting, both daily and cumulative,” he said.
According to him, every menu used in the system will be stored in a recipe database developed together with professional chefs to guarantee the quality of the produced food.
“Every single rupiah of state budget must be accounted for. Through ANTRA, the accountability process becomes easier, transparent, and comprehensive. This is a form of information openness to the public as well as responsibility to the state,” Alven added.
