Abstract

This study evaluates the early implementation of Indonesia’s Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) through a multidimensional policy review. Anchored in health, education, economic, and socio-environmental aspects, the study synthesizes national data, international best practices, and case comparisons with similar programs in Brazil, India, and Finland. The findings highlight that while MBG has significant potential to improve human capital, its direct impact on stunting and anemia remains unverified due to limited targeting of the first 1,000-day window and the absence of formal outcome tracking. The program demonstrates positive signs of improved school attendance and MSME engagement, yet faces implementation challenges related to food safety, logistics, and regulatory coherence. A SWOT analysis is employed to identify key strategic levers, indicating that realignment of program focus, multisectoral integration, and enhanced monitoring are essential to achieving the MBG's long-term objectives. The study offers critical insights for policymakers to refine MBG and ensure its alignment with national development goals and global nutrition commitments.

Abstract

Bappenas readiness plays a central role in supporting the implementation of RPJPN 2025–2045. This study examines institutional readiness by assessing human resource capacity, coordination, regulatory support, data systems, and policy continuity. A mixed-method approach is applied, combining surveys of planners with in-depth interviews. The findings show that planners understand long-term development goals and are able to translate them into annual programs. However, key challenges still remain in coordination between sectors, data integration, and maintaining program continuity across government periods. These gaps limit effective monitoring, reduce program impact, and weaken alignment between planning and implementation. The study highlights the need to strengthen coordination mechanisms, integrate data systems, and align performance evaluation with long-term targets. These improvements are essential not only for Bappenas, but also for strengthening national planning systems and ensuring that long-term development goals can be implemented and benefit the countries in the future.
