Jakarta, VIVA – The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has praised the contribution of strategic partners in the Free Nutritious Meal Programme (MBG), which has enabled the establishment of 24,000 Nutrition Service Units (SPPG) across Indonesia.
“Through this partnership, the MBG programme has been made easier, so that today there are 24,000 SPPGs throughout Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke,” said the Head of BGN, Dadan Hindayana, in an official statement in Jakarta, Tuesday, 24 February 2026.
Dadan explained that the partnership scheme also accelerates the implementation of the programme in the field. This collaborative model enables the development of robust service infrastructure without relying entirely on state funding.
From a budgetary efficiency perspective, BGN provides an incentive of IDR 6 million per day for each SPPG, or approximately IDR 144 million per month. This scheme is considered much more efficient than if the government had to build and manage all the facilities independently.
More than just physical development, BGN emphasises that the time factor is the most valuable asset in this partnership process. The speed of implementation is key to the success of the programme.
“Furthermore, the most valuable aspect of this partnership process, and I believe this should be appreciated by the state towards all parties involved in the development, is the winning of time, that is, the speed of execution. Time is one of the factors in this world that cannot be recovered and moves in one direction. In the implementation of the MBG programme, if it is not carried out at a high speed, I believe that all parties will suffer greatly,” he said.
BGN affirms that accelerating development and strengthening partnerships are key strategies to ensure that all national targets are achieved on time and sustainably. (Ant)
