Analisis Collaborative Governance dalam Implementasi Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG)

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of collaborative governance in the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) in Indonesia. The program was initiated to improve the quality of human resources through nutritional interventions involving multiple stakeholders from various sectors, making collaboration an essential aspect of its implementation. This research aims to examine the application of collaborative governance principles and identify factors influencing the effectiveness of the program. The study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method by analyzing relevant journals, policy documents, government regulations, and official reports related to the MBG Program. The findings reveal that collaborative governance in the MBG Program is reflected through cross-sector coordination, clear role distribution, and a shared commitment among stakeholders, resulting in the formation of a collaborative policy ecosystem. However, several challenges remain, including overlapping authority, unequal institutional capacity, limited data integration, and sustainability issues. The study highlights the importance of strengthening institutional design, improving coordination mechanisms, and enhancing accountability systems to ensure the effectiveness, continuity, and sustainability of the MBG Program implementation in Indonesia.
