One Year into Prabowo's Term, CISDI Says Free Meal Program Falls Short of Nutrition Standards

Assessment of Prabowo's Term: Free Meal Program Falls Short

CISDI has evaluated several priority programs in the health sector under President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, finding significant room for improvement.

Specifically, the implementation of fast-track programs such as the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) and free health checkups (CKG) has been disrupted, according to CISDI.

President Prabowo's flagship program has incurred a huge budget and targeted tens of millions of beneficiaries within the first year.

This statement was made by CISDI Founder and CEO Diah Saminarsih on Friday, October 24, 2025.

CISDI's assessment highlights the need for improvement in these programs to meet nutrition standards.
