Strengthening the SKPG to enhance resilience to crisis

By 2029, the Government of Indonesia is committed to enhancing nutrition resilience in times of crisis by strengthening its food security systems and ensuring timely, targeted interventions for vulnerable populations. To optimize crisis preparedness and response, the National Food Agency (NFA) will utilize the Early Warning System for Food and Nutrition Vulnerability (SKPG) to guide food interventions and related actions in vulnerable areas. Established under NFA Regulation 16/2022, as mandated by Food Law 18/2024 and Government Regulation 17/2015 on Food and Nutrition, SKPG serves as a cornerstone of this commitment.

The Early Warning System for Food and Nutrition Vulnerability (SKPG) is an important measuring tool for identifying potential food insecurity. SKPG is a data-driven system that provides near real-time insights into food availability, prices trends, climate risks, and food vulnerabilities area. By leveraging SKPG, the government will enhance its capacity to anticipate food crises, allocate resources efficiently, and implement targeted interventions that protect at-risk communities. This proactive approach minimizes the impact of food system shocks, ensuring that vulnerable populations receive timely food and nutritional support.

Multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral collaboration are central to the success of this commitment. Partnerships with the private sector, academia, development partners, and civil society organizations will accelerate the implementation of SKPG while promoting innovative solutions to strengthen local food systems. Private sector engagement will be crucial for expanding food fortification, improving storage infrastructure, and reducing food loss and waste, ensuring that nutritious food remains available and accessible in crisis situations.

To ensure continuous improvement and accountability, The Government of Indonesia will conduct annual evaluations of SKPG’s recommendation and its intervention. The results will inform policy refinements and capacity-building efforts, strengthening Indonesia’s ability to respond to future crises with evidence-based, coordinated actions.

Through this commitment, The Government of Indonesia aims to build a robust, resilient food and nutrition system that not only addresses immediate crisis responses but also lays the foundation for long-term food security and sustainability, ensuring that no one is left behind in times of crisis.
