Lampung Prosecutors Push Innovations for Free Nutritious Meal Program

The Lampung High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati Lampung) is actively pushing for innovative ways to maximize the impact of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) on the community. Beyond monitoring this presidential priority, the office is ensuring that food not consumed by students is not wasted.

Kejati Lampung Chief Danang Suryo Wibowo stated that his office is overseeing an innovation to redistribute intact, edible food that students do not consume. This food is planned to be distributed to those in need through social foundations and mosque administrators near the schools, preventing waste.

The office will also focus on supervising the local supply chain for the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG). The oversight will prioritize sourcing raw ingredients from local businesses, including Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Cooperatives, and Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes).

"This effort is expected to have a dual impact: improving the nutritional quality of students while also driving the local economy through strengthening the regional supply chain," Danang explained. He emphasized that the prosecutor's office's oversight demonstrates its commitment to the MBG program's success, aiming for accountability, targeted delivery, and broad community benefit. "Through synergy between the regional government and law enforcement, the MBG program is expected not only to foster a healthy and quality generation but also to become a catalyst for grassroots economic growth in Lampung Province," he added.
