Indonesia Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights Monitoring and Policy Advocacy (IRRMA)

Introduction

This project carries on the concept of Women's Health and Rights Advocacy Partnership (WHRAP) in that it aims primarily to strengthen NGO capacity for evidence-based monitoring and carrying out effective policy advocacy. ARROW's role is to facilitate this project and provide technical assistance for monitoring, documentation, policy advocacy and capacity building to Indonesian partners through resources available from its Information and Documentation Centre, and link Indonesian NGOs with regional and international NGOs working in the field of women's health and rights.

ARROW works with seven local NGOs who are members of networks or coalitions that cover a specific geographical area so that focus is not confined to Jakarta or the central island of Java alone. These seven members form the core IRRMA network (called Focal Point Group). Each group undertakes monitoring activities to provide a comprehensive profile (based on a set of indicators) on a particular SRHR issue for their region.

Issues

• Young people's access to SRHR information and services
• Unsafe abortion
• Sexual violence against the girl child
• STDs, RTIs and HIV/AIDS
• High maternal mortality rates
• The decentralisation of health services currently in practice
• Family planning services

Outputs

These will be available online once completed.

• Seven monitoring reports
• A national IRRMA monitoring report
• Advocacy tools such as position papers, policy briefs and etc.
• An ARROWs for Change bulletin on IRRMA
