Analisis Pelaksanaan Kebijakan Presiden dalam Peningkatan Kualitas Makanan Pada Program MBG di Kecamatan Tebing Tinggi Kabupaten Empat Lawang

Abstract

This research is motivated by the challenges in implementing the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG), particularly regarding food quality, food safety, distribution, and supervision. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Article 4 of Presidential Regulation Number 83 of 2024 concerning the National Nutrition Agency in improving food quality in the MBG program in Tebing Tinggi District, Empat Lawang Regency, and to examine its implementation from the perspective of Siyasah Tanfidziyyah. This study employs field research using a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving the Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi (SPPG), parents, and student beneficiaries. The findings indicate that MBG implementation involves food preparation, processing, portioning, packaging, distribution, and coordination with the National Nutrition Agency through guidance, reporting, and periodic monitoring. However, complaints regarding the condition of ingredients, food freshness, and distribution demonstrate that food quality and supervision have not been consistently ensured. From the perspective of Siyasah Tanfidziyyah, the program reflects efforts to uphold the principles of trustworthiness (amanah), justice, public benefit (maslahah), and accountability, although their implementation requires improvement. This study concludes that stronger quality control, effective supervision, inter-agency coordination, and systematic evaluation of beneficiary complaints are necessary to ensure that the program delivers safe, nutritious, and beneficial food to the community.
