JAKARTA The National Pelita Inclusion Foundation (YIPB) together with Grab-OVO strengthens the security standards of the Private Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program through periodic inspections and the use of artificial intelligence-based command centers (AI). This program is intended for children with special needs in Banten as part of the corporate social responsibility initiative (CSR).

During the latest visit, YIPB reviewed MSME partner Omah Kulina to check the cleanliness of the kitchen and standards for food supply, then proceed to the Assalam 01 Special School (SKh) and 02 as beneficiaries, before finally reviewing the MBG Command Center at the GrabSupport office, South Jakarta.

Since its launch in April 2025, the CSR program has served 18 state and private decrees in five cities/districts in Banten, involving 12 MSMEs and school canteens, with more than 2,200 beneficiaries with special needs and teachers.

The Chief Executive of the YIPB Daily, Cahaya Manthovani, called this program evidence of synergy between the public and private sectors.

Many students with special needs have certain food restrictions. Therefore, it is important for us to ensure that the food provided is not only nutritious, but also safe, clean, and as needed," he said.

The Private MBG program also collaborates with the local Health and Education Office, starting from school selection, selection of food provider MSMEs, to assistance in the form of cleaning inspections, K3 training, as well as nutrition education and special needs for children.

Chairman of the YIPB Trustees Maya Miranda Ambarsari emphasized that this initiative could be a complementary model for the government's MBG program.

"Utilization of technology and strict surveillance procedures, we are committed to ensuring food distribution runs transparently, safely, and supports the sustainability of local MSMEs," he said.

YIPB dan Grab-OVO Perkuat Keamanan Program Makan Bergizi Gratis Swasta Lewat Inspeksi dan Command Center AI

Jakarta, Oktober 2025 – Yayasan Inklusi Pelita Bangsa (YIPB) bersama Grab-OVO memperkuat standar keamanan program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) Swasta melalui inspeksi berkala serta pemanfaatan command center berbasis kecerdasan buatan (AI). Program ini ditujukan bagi anak-anak berkebutuhan khusus di Banten sebagai bagian dari inisiatif tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan (CSR).

Dalam kunjungan terbaru, YIPB meninjau mitra UMKM Omah Kulina untuk memeriksa kebersihan dapur dan standar penyediaan makanan, lalu melanjutkan ke Sekolah Khusus (SKh) Assalam 01 dan 02 sebagai penerima manfaat, sebelum akhirnya meninjau MBG Command Center di kantor GrabSupport, Jakarta Selatan.

Sejak diluncurkan pada April 2025, program CSR ini telah melayani 18 SKh negeri dan swasta di lima kota/kabupaten di Banten, melibatkan 12 UMKM serta kantin sekolah, dengan penerima manfaat lebih dari 2.200 anak berkebutuhan khusus dan guru.

Ketua Pelaksana Harian YIPB, Cahaya Manthovani, menyebut program ini sebagai bukti sinergi antara sektor publik dan swasta. “Banyak siswa berkebutuhan khusus memiliki pantangan makanan tertentu. Karena itu, penting bagi kami memastikan makanan yang diberikan tidak hanya bergizi, tapi juga aman, bersih, dan sesuai kebutuhan,” ujarnya.

Program MBG Swasta turut menggandeng Dinas Kesehatan dan Pendidikan setempat, mulai dari pemilihan sekolah, seleksi UMKM penyedia makanan, hingga pendampingan berupa inspeksi kebersihan, pelatihan K3, serta edukasi gizi dan kebutuhan khusus anak.

Ketua Pembina YIPB, Maya Miranda Ambarsari, menegaskan bahwa inisiatif ini dapat menjadi model pelengkap program MBG pemerintah.

“Melalui pemanfaatan teknologi dan prosedur pengawasan yang ketat, kami berkomitmen memastikan distribusi makanan berjalan transparan, aman, dan mendukung keberlangsungan UMKM lokal,” katanya.

CEO Grab Indonesia, Neneng Goenadi, menambahkan, program MBG dijalankan dengan tiga pilar utama.

Pertama, pemanfaatan teknologi untuk proses yang lebih mudah dan transparan dengan membangun sistem distribusi makanan bergizi yang efisien dan real-time melalui aplikasi dan teknologi Grab.

Kedua, penerapan protokol standar keamanan, kebersihan, dan gizi makanan berdasarkan rekomendasi ahli gizi dan Dinas Kesehatan setempat dengan mengacu pada standar Badan Gizi Nasional. Serta, pemanfaatan command center berbasis teknologi kecerdasan buatan (AI) untuk memantau secara real-time proses dan protokol penyediaan makanan.

"Pilar terakhir, pemberdayaan mitra UMKM dan kantin sekolah untuk menciptakan dampak ekonomi yang positif secara langsung di level ekonomi lokal,” ujarnya.

Kegiatan inspeksi ini juga dihadiri Presiden Direktur OVO, Karaniya Dharmasaputra, serta Director ID Commercial, Strategic Partnership & Multimoda Grab Indonesia, Kertapradana.

YIPB dan Grab-OVO menegaskan akan terus memperkuat pengawasan agar program MBG Swasta dapat menjadi kontribusi nyata pihak swasta dalam mendukung program gizi pemerintah.
