Pangkalpinang - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) will immediately operate 900 Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) in the Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Remote (3T) regions in Indonesia, as a government measure to accelerate the Free Nutritious Food Program (MBG) in remote areas.
"God willing, in the near future there will be an MBG Program in this 3T area," said Deputy Head of BGN Sony Sanjaya at the MBG Program Consolidation Meeting in Pangkalpinang, Friday, April 17, reported by ANTARA.
He stated that the implementation of the MBG Program in the 3T region would be optimized, in order to improve the health and nutrition of children, toddlers, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers in remote areas.
"Hopefully in one to two months, 900 SPPG will start operating and the next 2,000 SPPG and the next 4,000 SPPG will start registering in this 3T area," said SonySanjaya.
He stated that the registration of this SPPG in the 3Tke BGN region was carried out through the MBG Program task forces in districts/cities in the lagging, leading and outermost regions.
"The MBG Program Task Force in the 3T region has registered with BGN and will be verified to start the construction and operation of SPPG in this remote area," he said.
He said that in 2026 BGN would also add SPPG in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province (Babel) to optimize the MBG Program in the province.
"Currently, the development of SPPG in the Babel Islands is in process and we are also coordinating with the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag), the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos), and the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) to find out the number of SPPG for the distribution of MBG to beneficiaries in this area," said Deputy Chairman of BGN Sony Sanjaya.
