Evaluation of the Implementation of the Free Nutritional Meal Program Survey Phase 1 2025

SEMARANG, jateng.bps.go.id - Improving the quality of public health and nutrition is not just a number in a development report. The government has set a very noble priority: ensuring that every child, especially those from vulnerable groups, not only attends school but also attends with a full stomach and a clear mind. The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Program is a concrete manifestation of this commitment. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) conducted a Special Survey and Baseline Monitoring and Evaluation for the 2025 MBG Phase 1.

To strengthen coordination of the MBG Monitoring and Evaluation Survey implementation, the Jawa Tengah Province Statistics Agency (BPS) held a hybrid evaluation of the 2025 MBG Program Monitoring and Evaluation Phase 1 at the Pandanaran Hotel, Semarang, from September 16-19, 2025. The event was opened by the Acting Head of BPS Jawa Tengah Province, Endang Tri Wahyuningsih, and attended by the Director of BPS Production Balance, Puji Agus Kurniawan.

This evaluation forum was held in two types. First, a plenary forum discussed the general review and evaluation, featuring speakers from the Jawa Tengah Provincial Government's Bureau of Infrastructure and Natural Resources. In addition to the plenary forum, the evaluation activities were divided into two commissions: the commission for the Head of the BPS, Regency/City, and Technical Financial Services Authority (PJK), and an administrative commission with participants from the Head of the General Subdivision and the Commitment-Making Officer.
