National Nutrition Agency (BGN) is implementing a strategy to promote local employment by recruiting workers for the Nutritional Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) from individuals in extreme and general poverty. Redy Hendra Gunawan, Special Staff to BGN, shared that a minimum of 30% of the personnel in each SPPG will be chosen from underprivileged households, aligning with the President’s directive to ensure that the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Program contributes to job creation. Currently, there are 2,378 SPPG units established in collaboration with 6,076 local economic institutions, with 93,572 community members volunteering in the program. The MBG Program has benefited over 7.4 million individuals nationwide, including students from various educational levels, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, toddlers, and more. To further enhance the program’s impact, BGN is planning to launch an additional 2,401 SPPG units in the next 10 days, with the goal of serving around 15 million beneficiaries. This initiative represents a significant step towards supporting job opportunities and addressing nutritional requirements in marginalized communities.
