The government has created a digital monitoring system for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program to ensure the program is running effectively, reducing stunting cases and ensuring a quality demographic bonus.

Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Nezar Patria stated that utilizing digital technology is a targeted way to manage the national-scale program, which targets up to 82 million children by the end of 2025.

"I believe digital intervention or digitization in the implementation of this free nutritious meal program is a necessity because we will be feeding approximately 82 million people by the end of 2025," Nezar said in an official statement received.
