BGN Requests SPPG to Fulfill 3 Requirements for Operational Funds to Continue Disbursement

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has urged the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) to meet three critical requirements for its operational funds to remain disbursed through the virtual account/VA.

These three requirements relate to the reporting of fund usage, the alignment of beneficiary data, and the discipline of SPPG in budget utilization.

This announcement comes after several SPPG units reported that they are unable to serve beneficiaries of the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) due to unavailability of operational funds in their virtual accounts.

BGN spokesperson Tysa Novenny explained that one of the reasons for the operational funds not being disbursed is the failure to carry out daily fund usage reporting through the National Nutrition Fulfillment Information System (SIPGN).

Such reporting is essential to ensure that budget usage is monitored and accountable.

“Firstly, it is because the relevant SPPG has not reported daily fund usage in SIPGN or the National Nutrition Fulfillment Information System as a financial accountability measure,” Tysa stated in a press release on Monday (26/10/2026).

Another factor is the misalignment of beneficiary data being served with the SPS-2 data that has been established.

This data alignment is necessary to ensure that the MBG Program is effectively targeted while confirming that budget usage aligns with pre-established planning.

“The SPPG in question is serving MBG beneficiaries that do not match the SPS-2 data, which refers to the temporary beneficiary designation letter 2,” she added.

In addition to these two factors, Tysa noted that the lack of operational funds may also occur if the SPPG has run out of funds due to undisciplined budget usage.

“Alternatively, the relevant SPPG may have run out of funds because it did not adhere to the budget usage guidelines that had been set and calculated in advance,” Tysa commented.
