JAKARTA - The government is taking advantage of the school holidays to carry out the arrangement of the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG). SPPG operational activities were temporarily suspended during the school holidays. The government conducted a thorough evaluation.
This step is part of the government's efforts to improve the quality of SPPG services in providing Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) for schoolchildren, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and toddlers.
"It just so happens that our school is entering a period of vacation, and one of the policies that has been taken by the leadership of BGN (National Nutrition Agency) is to stop or stop the kitchen activities to supply MBG during the vacation. And because the vacation is quite long, there is a good enough time and space for BGN to conduct a thorough evaluation," said Head of the Government Communication Agency (Bakom) RI, Muhammad Qodari, in his statement on Wednesday, June 17.
Regular evaluation of the quality of SPPG, such as the condition of facilities, cooking processes, hygiene and health standards, to food quality continues.
"The evaluation that has been running so far will continue with a higher level of discipline, for example regarding the condition of facilities, then the cooking process, health, hygiene, which can improve the quality of food or food that will be available on the plates of students and beneficiaries of this MBG," he said.
The plan is that from the results of the evaluation, SPPG will be divided into several class levels. SPPG with better quality will get a bigger incentive.
"In the future, the SPPG itself will undergo grading or evaluation. So there will be classes of SPPG. The good one is A, the one that is B, the one that is not good is C. The grading classes of SPPG will affect the incentive. So the incentive figure will not be the same," Qodari revealed.
He added, BGN has also prepared various other steps to improve the governance of the MBG program. Starting from a moratorium on the construction of new SPPGs to recalculating incentives for SPPGs.
"Some steps that will be taken, which I have noted is the first is a moratorium on the construction of new SPPG because the existing SPPG is felt to be sufficient and will be rearranged. So focus on SPPG that is already operational. The second, the calculation of incentives will also be updated. It is likely to be returned to the old method where the amount of incentives is associated with the number of recipients," he concluded.
