Prabowo Subianto, the President-elect for the 2024-2029 term, is determined to ensure the efficient implementation of the program providing free nutritious meals to school children without any leakage. In an exclusive interview with tvOne titled “Prabowo Subianto Speaks for Indonesia,” Prabowo discussed how this goal will be achieved.
Prabowo stated that the budget for the nutritious meal program for students has been calculated and he is confident in its realization. He emphasized the importance of organizing the program efficiently to ensure accurate delivery to the children.
Efforts will be made to prevent any leaks in the program’s implementation during his administration. Prabowo highlighted the need for a scheme that is efficient and leak-free, specifically tailored to each region’s needs.
For example, in Southwest Maluku, Moa Island, where buffalo milk is abundant, children will have access to this nutritious source. In regions where milk sources are limited, a shift towards distributing other nutritious foods like fish and eggs will be considered.
Prabowo stressed the importance of flexibility in distributing nutritious food and free milk to children, considering the different typologies and conditions of each region in Indonesia. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all children receive the necessary nutrients for their growth and development.
