Indonesian Free Meals Programme Hit by High Profile Departure The sudden resignation of Nanik Sudaryati Deyang as head of Indonesia's National Nutrition Agency (NNA) has dealt a significant blow to President Prabowo Subianto's flagship nutrition programme.
This high profile departure follows months of logistical challenges, budget cuts, and a criminal investigation into the scheme.
Launched in January 2025 with great fanfare as an election promise, the free meals programme has struggled to deliver on its lofty goals from the outset.
