<![CDATA[The Indonesian government has introduced two strategic national programs, namely the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) and the Red and White Village/Subdistrict Cooperatives (KDMP), as instruments to improve human capital quality, strengthen food security, and promote community-based economic empowerment. Despite their strategic role, studies examining the integration of both programs through a collaborative governance approach and Islamic development framework remain limited. This study aims to analyze the role of the pentahelix collaboration model in supporting the implementation of MBG and KDMP and to evaluate their contribution to achieving the objectives of maqashid sharia. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were collected from government regulations, policy documents, official reports, academic books, and scientific articles indexed in Scopus and SINTA. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and thematic analysis by integrating the pentahelix model and maqashid sharia framework. The findings reveal that the successful implementation of MBG and KDMP depends on effective collaboration among five key actors: government, academia, business, community, and media. The government acts as regulator and facilitator, academia contributes knowledge and innovation, businesses strengthen supply chains and economic sustainability, communities serve as both beneficiaries and active participants, while media enhances transparency and public accountability. The study further finds that KDMP has the potential to function as a local economic node within the MBG supply chain ecosystem by aggregating local agricultural products, strengthening food distribution networks, and enhancing rural economic resilience. From the maqashid sharia perspective, MBG contributes significantly to hifz al-nafs (preservation of life), hifz al-'aql (preservation of intellect), and hifz al-nasl (preservation of lineage) through improvements in nutrition, health, and human capital development. Meanwhile, KDMP primarily supports hifz al-mal (preservation of wealth) through economic empowerment, equitable distribution of resources, and strengthening local economic capacity. The study proposes an Integrative Pentahelix–Maqashid Sharia Model that positions collaborative governance as a mechanism for generating multidimensional public welfare (maslahah) and fostering inclusive development. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of the pentahelix collaboration model with maqashid sharia as a comprehensive framework for evaluating national development policies, while positioning KDMP as a strategic local economic institution that supports the sustainability of the Free Nutritious Meal Program.]]>
