The facts
The latest national survey (SSGI 2024) puts stunting prevalence at 19.8 percent, roughly one in five children, down from 20.1 percent in 2023. Only 12 of 38 provinces were above 25 percent, and no SSGI survey was run in 2025.
What is circulating
“President Prabowo has officially abolished the free meals programme (MBG) and replaced it with cash.”
Claimed by Facebook posts · social media
The facts
The posts from 16 June 2026 appeared amid a corruption case involving former National Nutrition Agency leaders, but no decision to end MBG had been made. Kompas has debunked versions of this claim repeatedly since late 2025.
