Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning
The objective of the follow-up study is to make a longer-term assessment of the socioeconomic outcomes and impacts of the improvement of the EINRIP project roads in each research site.
This study is part of a long-term monitoring and evaluation (M&E) program of the Eastern Indonesia National Road Improvement Project (EINRIP). A longitudinal qualitative social research comprising a baseline study and monitoring studies—which included surveys of local social and economic relations—were respectively carried out before and after the road construction.
Global studies reveal that there are correlations between sanitation facilities in schools and transition rate as well as attendance rate of female students when they are menstruating. In Indonesia, most primary schools are lacking in terms of sanitation facilities’ hygiene, however studies about menstrual hygiene management (MHM) are still limited.
Even though the quantity and quality of Indonesia’s research continue to increase, many research findings have not been used to formulate public policy. We view that it is important to use evidence and recommendations from a research study to enrich stakeholders’ perspective in policymaking that would impact the welfare of many people’s lives.
