Within 2 Weeks, BGN Mandates SPPG to Increase 3B Beneficiaries

Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) for Public Communication and Investigation, Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, has urged all Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) to increase the number of beneficiaries in the pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and toddlers (3B) category within their respective areas over the next two weeks. She explained that this step is part of the government’s efforts to accelerate improvements in Indonesian children’s nutrition while reducing national stunting rates through the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG). “From now until two weeks ahead, all SPPG must have 3B beneficiaries. Currently, our achievement is only around 9 million, while data from the Ministry of Health reaches 22 million to 26 million,” Nanik said in Jakarta on Monday (11/5/2026). Nanik assessed that this situation requires BGN to refocus the programme so that nutrition fulfilment services are more targeted towards priority groups needing immediate intervention. Therefore, all SPPG are asked to actively conduct data collection and optimise services so that the coverage of 3B beneficiaries can increase in a short time. This effort is deemed important to accelerate the equitable distribution of nutrition services to the public. Nanik emphasised that SPPG which fail to meet the 3B beneficiary targets in their areas will face temporary operational suspension or suspension. This policy is taken to ensure that all programme implementers remain focused on the main objective, namely improving public nutrition and reducing stunting prevalence in Indonesia. “If the 3B beneficiaries in SPPG are still few, then the SPPG will be suspended,” she said.
