This study was conducted using a public policy perspective, especially using policy analysis theory. The research method used is a qualitative method using secondary data. This study found that there are several opportunities and challenges in implementing the Free Nutritious Meals for Children program, such as strong parliamentary support, and several challenges such as the need for a large budget, an un-resilient food supply chain, and doubts about the effectiveness of the program. With so many challenges, the program is not ready to be implemented and has risks if implemented.
