President Prabowo Subianto has set a remarkable goal to expand the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) to reach 82.9 million children nationwide by the end of 2025. This initiative, highlighted during the 27th anniversary of the National Awakening Party (PKB), is a pressing national priority. Prabowo shared a heartfelt experience from his visit to Central Java, where the overwhelming demand for the program was evident. Touched by the children’s plea for nutritious meals along his journey, Prabowo swiftly instructed his team to accelerate the program, aiming to reach 20 million children by mid-August. This ambitious effort has garnered global attention, with other nations expressing interest in learning from Indonesia’s approach. Although optimistic, Prabowo emphasized the need to deliver results and be held accountable for commitments. The Free Nutritious Meal Program is part of Prabowo’s comprehensive vision to address child hunger, malnutrition, and educational disparities, ensuring every child has the necessary nourishment to thrive and succeed.
