The evaluation was designed to assess the relevance, effectiveness and
efficiency of the Sustained Outreach Services (SOS) strategy as it is applied
in the current target areas of Indonesia. The specific purposes of the activity
were to:
1. Document factors that supported SOS programming in Indonesia, including
those that led to changes in immunization coverage in the target areas,
2. Recommend sustainable mechanisms as considered appropriate for wider
application of SOS in the national EPI and the broader child survival
programmes of the government,
3. Identify any needs for additional human and financial resources required
towards solving inequities in the long term, that will increase and sustain
immunization coverage levels in hard to reach areas, and
4. Contribute to global knowledge on equity and evidence-based, cost effective/
cost efficient strategies for reaching the poorest populations in
geographically hard-to-reach areas.
In addition, the evaluation would attempt to identify key elements contributing
to SOS programme implementation, to determine gaps in achieving EPI coverage
targets, and to summarize the lessons learned.
