Transition to new governance – Recommendations for changes in governance MBG Series
On Wednesday, June 4, 2026, Dadan Hindayana, former head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), along with two former deputy directors of BGN, Sony Sonjaya and Lodewyk Pusung, were named as suspects by the Attorney General’s Office based on an investigation warrant dated May 29, 2026. The day before, President Prabowo Subianto carried out a complete change of leadership of BGN after an evaluation process performances which lasted almost a year and a half. Nanik S. Deyang, who previously served as BGN deputy chief for public communications and investigations, was appointed as the new BGN chief, accompanied by Agustina Arumsari and TNI Major General Trenggono as deputy chiefs. This change provides the impetus needed to carry out fundamental reforms before old patterns take root again under the new leadership structure.
This article is not intended to judge the MBG program as an idea. The dream of building a healthy generation by ensuring optimal nutritional intake for every individual is a noble ideal that does not need to be debated. However, it seems necessary to construct a discourse on the way in which this program is designed, managed and supervised. BGN’s own data indicates that of the 27,208 SPPGs operating since the start of the program from January 6, 2025 to May 29, 2026, 8,182 SPPGs have been suspended. This figure is not encouraging because 30% of operational SPPGs have problems.
This article will attempt to provide recommendations regarding reprocessing MBG program objectives, changes in governance, notably in the definition of the SPPG and financing mechanisms and transition to new governance changes.
Transition to new governance
After modifying the SPPG criteria and definitions with new criteria and definitions, the question that arises is what to do with the SPPG that currently exists. For this reason, we will divide existing SPPG processing into government agency SPPG and independent/private SPPG.
For SPPGs managed by government agencies, in accordance with reprocessing From this program, it is time for the SPPGs of government agencies, in particular the TNI/Polri, to be closed/handed over to independent management, either to existing foundations, or managed by regional BUMDs already qualified in food production.
For independently/privately managed SPPGs this must be done revaluation In which categories can existing SPPGs be classified? If the existing SPPG only meets the qualifications of the Small SPPG, the number of beneficiaries that can be served must also be reduced based on the results. revaluation THE. This way, BGN does not need to close existing kitchens, but those kitchens are no longer required to serve large production if qualifications are not met.
This is how this series of articles was written, I hope it is useful and Happy Coding!

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
