Abstract

This study aims to compare the economic impact of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) on students, school canteens, and nearby MSMEs before and after the program’s implementation. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 5 Bandar Lampung using a mixed-method approach, combining in-depth interviews with questionnaires distributed to students, canteen operators, and surrounding MSME owners. The findings show that the MBG program provides meaningful benefits to students by reducing their daily food expenses and improving access to nutritious meals, consistent with evidence indicating that MBG initiatives enhance students’ nutritional adequacy (Merlinda & Yusuf, 2025). However, the program also generates economic pressure on school vendors and local MSMEs, as reflected in studies reporting a decline in canteen income following the introduction of free meal policies (Ariska et al., 2025). This phenomenon aligns with the concept of crowding-out in food assistance interventions, wherein government-provided meals reduce consumer demand for existing food providers (Ruffini et al., 2023)These findings highlight the need for a more inclusive policy design, such as integrating local MSMEs into the MBG supply chain or establishing school–MSME partnerships to support economic sustainability without undermining the program’s primary goals.

Abstract

Nearly every developing country, including Indonesia, struggles with poverty. To address this issue, the government has established budgetary measures aimed at improving the effectiveness and independence of regional development. The objective of this research is to examine how fiscal decentralization affects poverty alleviation in districts and cities in Lampung Province from 2019 to 2024. The poverty rate serves as the dependent variable, while the independent variables consist of Regional Original Revenue (PAD), General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH), and Regional Expenditure. Based on the results of the Chow and Hausman tests, the analytical approach employed is panel data regression using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The findings indicate that while the Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) does not have a significant impact on poverty alleviation, PAD, DAU, DAK, and regional government expenditure significantly influence poverty reduction. With a coefficient of determination of 96.5%, all independent variables simultaneously have a significant impact on poverty alleviation. This study contributes to the empirical literature on fiscal decentralization by providing evidence on the effectiveness of regional fiscal instruments in reducing poverty at the district/city level in Lampung Province during the 2019–2024 period.
