Penerapan Analisis SWOT pada Perencanaan Program MBG untuk Mendukung Perbaikan Status Gizi dan Kesehatan Masyarakat: Application of SWOT Analysis in the Planning of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program to Support the Improvement of Nutritional Status and Public Health

Abstrak

The Free Nutritious Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) Program represents a strategic national policy aimed at improving nutritional status, reducing stunting, and strengthening human capital in Indonesia. However, effective program planning requires a comprehensive strategic analysis that considers both internal and external factors influencing implementation. This study aims to apply SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis in the planning phase of the MBG program to support improvements in community nutrition and public health outcomes. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with literature review and policy analysis methods. Data were analyzed through thematic coding and mapped into a SWOT matrix to formulate strategic alternatives (SO, WO, ST, WT). The findings indicate that strong political commitment, national budget allocation, and cross-sectoral collaboration constitute major strengths. Weaknesses include logistical constraints, uneven infrastructure readiness, and limited outcome-based monitoring. Opportunities arise from local food diversification, community empowerment, and digital monitoring systems, while threats involve fiscal sustainability risks, food safety concerns, and socio-cultural resistance. The study concludes that SWOT analysis is an effective strategic planning instrument to align national nutrition policy objectives with local implementation capacity. Strategically integrating local resources, strengthening governance mechanisms, and institutionalizing monitoring systems are essential to ensure sustainable improvements in nutritional status and public health
