PSI Deputy Chair Isyana Bagoes Oka stated that the government is improving the Free Nutritious Meals program following student demonstrations in several regions.
Isyana said efforts to improve the MBG program continue, including the appointment of a new BGN Chair and Deputy Chair.
She asked the public to give the new BGN leadership a chance to fix the governance of the government’s priority program.
According to Isyana, MBG aims to improve nutrition for school-age children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, toddlers and early childhood education participants to prevent stunting and achieve the demographic dividend toward Indonesia Emas 2045.
Isyana also affirmed that demonstrations are a legitimate way to convey aspirations as long as they follow applicable rules.
