Abstract

The “Free Nutritious Meal Program†under President Prabowo Subianto’s administration is expected to serve as an additional initiative to enhance the quality of education. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Indonesia Smart Program (PIP) and the Family Hope Program (PKH) on students’ calorie consumption and food security in Indonesia using data from the 2013 SUSENAS (National Socioeconomic Survey). The findings indicate that PIP significantly contributes to increasing students’ calorie intake, whereas PKH demonstrates a more complex influence, with positive effects on calorie consumption but negative impacts on students’ food security. Logit methods were employed to analyze the probability of food insecurity, while OLS methods were used to assess calorie intake. These findings provide recommendations for the government to refine and synergize social assistance programs to more effectively enhance food security and the well-being of Indonesian students, especially in anticipation of the nationwide rollout of the Free Nutritious Meal Program.
