TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto expressed his gratitude to all Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program officers working across the country.
Prabowo expressed his appreciation while attending the National Consolidation of the MBG Program initiated by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) at SICC, Bogor, West Java, on Wednesday, which carried the theme “500 Billion Meals Challenge: Building Indonesia's Future Generations Through Nutrition - An Inspiring Session.”
In front of thousands of participants, including heads of Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG/kitchen), nutritionists, supervisors, volunteers, cooks, drivers, and MBG partners, Prabowo expressed his gratitude for their dedication and devotion.
"Thank you, brothers, for coming here. Thank you once again for your service in faraway places, in difficult places. Thank you for your dedication, thank you for your loyalty," Prabowo said, as quoted by ANTARA.
Prabowo attributes the success of the MBG program to the hard work of field officers. They carry out their duties daily in various regions, including those with geographical challenges and difficult access.
The president also stated that MBG officers are at the forefront of ensuring Indonesian children have access to nutritious food. This access is an important foundation for their growth, development, and future.
On that occasion, the Head of State also emphasized that the MBG program is a major mandate that must be carried out with full responsibility. He said the success of the MBG program was determined not only by good policies but also by the dedication and integrity of the implementers in the field.
Therefore, Prabowo invited everyone to continue working with dedication, maintain the quality of their service, and prioritize people’s interests.
This national consolidation was attended by around 12,173 participants and 5,873 partners involved in implementing the MBG program in various regions in Indonesia.
This activity also serves as a forum to strengthen coordination between the BGN, partners, and all program implementers to expand service reach and ensure the program runs effectively in supporting the realization of a healthy, strong, and superior generation of Indonesians.
