The Free Nutritious Meals Program (Program Makanan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) is a government program that requires well-planned, competent, coordinated, and adaptive human resource management (HRM). This study aims to analyze human resource constraints and HRM strategies in the implementation of the MBG Program at SPPG Mayong Lor 1 Jepara. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. The participants consisted of 14 informants, including SPPG managers, school principals, teachers, production staff, distribution staff, an academician, parents, and students. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using NVivo 12 through coding, categorization, and theme development, supported by source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the main human resource constraints include limited personnel, workload, limited competence, operational constraints, and communication problems, with operational constraints being the most dominant. The strategies implemented include task adjustment and allocation, capacity development, strengthened coordination, evaluation and improvement, and adaptation to changing conditions. The study shows that dynamic and adaptive human resource management is essential to support the sustainability of the MBG Program’s implementation.
