Indonesia’s Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) program is more than a nutrition initiative—it is one of the country’s most important long-term investments in human capital. The program is designed to provide balanced and healthy meals for school children, preschoolers, and pregnant and breastfeeding women, while addressing the triple burden of malnutrition. The scale is transformative: the United Nations notes that as of May 2025, 1,011 kitchens across 34 provinces were already serving more than 2 million beneficiaries, with government plans to expand to 30,000 centralized kitchens capable of reaching up to 82.9 million people. This scale creates not only a nutrition opportunity, but also a nationwide systems opportunity—including for responsible kitchen waste management.

Through organized collection, digital traceability, and sustainability-driven operations, EnerSHE can help MBG strengthen kitchen hygiene, reduce disposal risk, support environmental goals, and create wider impact through renewable energy feedstock recovery and women empowerment. This is a strategic collaboration that helps MBG go beyond nutrition—toward a cleaner, more accountable, and more circular national system.
