Indonesia's free meal scheme hit by further turmoil as program boss quits

The head of Indonesia's National Nutrition Agency, Nanik Deyang, has resigned just six weeks after taking up her role, adding to the instability surrounding the agency tasked with managing President Prabowo Subianto's free meal program.

The free meal program is a significant policy under President Prabowo's administration, aimed at addressing food insecurity among vulnerable populations. This series of challenges raises concerns about the sustainability and integrity of the program, which has already faced scrutiny over financial management and governance issues.
