Vol 16 No 1 (2026): Jurnal Kebijakan dan Manajemen Publik

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program is a government policy that aims to improve children's nutritional status and overcome the problem of malnutrition in Indonesia. Apart from being a nutrition intervention, this program also has the potential to encourage community empowerment and strengthen the local economy. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the MBG Program in the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) of Jatimulyo Village, Kauman District, Tulungagung Regency, and identify the obstacles faced in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using the Merilee S. Grindle policy implementation model which emphasizes the aspects of affected interests, types of benefits, implementers, and availability of resources. The results of the study show that the implementation of MBG in Jatimulyo Village has gone quite well with adequate resource support, especially funding. This program has a positive impact on the fulfillment of child nutrition and the economic activities of the village community, although there is still a need to improve facilities, implementation competence, and supervision so that the program can run more optimally and sustainably.
