governance (Accountability, Responsiveness,
Community Participation & Transparency)
• Instrument: Custom Likert Scale Survey
• Sample: Random; 160 Organization Members (10 per
DHO & Puskesmas)

• Analysis: Descriptive statistics, T tests, and multiple
regressions
Implemented by Social Impact

Methodology: Customer Satisfaction Survey (CSS)



Hypothesis: Two-pronged approach (supply & demand)

improves customer satisfaction with puskesmas services
Instrument: Customer satisfaction survey developed by
Ministry for State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPAN)
specified 14 indicators to measure customer satisfaction with service
units





Sample: Random; 1,800 Service users in partner puskesmas
Timing: Baseline February 2013, Endline February – March
2015
Analysis: Descriptive statistics, T tests, and multiple
regressions

• Instrument: Custom key informant interview (KII) and focus
group discussion (FGD) guides
• Sample: DHO and puskesmas staff, service users, and MSF
members (24 FGDs and 10 KIIs = 134 respondents)
• Timing: March – April 2015

Findings: OCA Qualitative
“The MSF reaches out to the community members and gets input from them. We
[puskesmas staff] then receive community feedback via the MSF on how we
deliver services. For example, we received input on why some of the infrastructure
in this puskesmas was broken, how we should use our vehicle, and why some of
our staff were not friendly, etc. This is how the MSF works with this puskesmas.” –
Head of PKM Mapurujaya
“Studying while working is difficult because our workload is unpredictable. For
instance, I remember I could only attend three video conference sessions. It
shows the fact that studying while learning is difficult, isn’t it?” – Head of DHO Kab
Jayapura
“We have participated in the training and we were very happy because we could
finally learn new things. However, the problem is that our boss did not follow-up
[after training]. We are just staff, so we are just waiting for our boss.” –
Puskesmas staff member, Jayawijaya

Overall Findings: OCA
• Overall OCA scores increased in all KP districts
• Accountability and Responsiveness scores remain highest
in all districts, and Community Participation and
Transparency remain areas of weakness in KP districts.
However…
• 50% of units had biggest improvement in dimension
‘Community Participation’
• Change in OCA scores is higher in those units that had low
baseline scores, for example the three puskesmas in
Jayawijaya and Puskesmas Limau Asri in Kabupaten
Mimika
• DHOs did not improve as much as puskesmas and saw
decreases in some governance scores

“Before, they were indeed lazy to know but now that we have MSF
they care more about discipline, 3S (sapa, senyum, sentuh) – greet,
smile, touch. Those who are late are no longer late. Because they have
made the promises. So, there are improvements. It’s not possible for
me to say 100%...” - Member of MSF Puskesmas Abepantai, Kota
Jayapura
“Some came late, puskesmas already closed, staff only comes at 9am,
goes home at 10am, 11am. Finally with Kinerja they are continuously
being pushed, the community repeatedly complained, so we finally
addressed the issue and now there are very big changes.” – Member
of MSF Puskesmas Dosay, Kab Jayapura
“On physical issues there are changes….Before patients could only
stand while waiting but now there are seats. This bench is new here.” –
Clients of Puskesmas Hom-Hom, Jayawijaya
“Quite a lot of changes. It is cleaner, they pay more attention to these.
Yes, yes (there’s changes) only we ask that equipment for medical
examinations must be here, and the doctor must be here every
evening as well…To say satisfied,
in my opinion maybe not yet,

SOCIAL IMPACT

Findings: Overall
• Despite positive changes (and for some units, ranked as
top 3 biggest changes), discipline of staff (#4) is still
relatively weak (in the lower/lowest range)
• Conversely, adherence to hours of operation(#12) saw
quite significant changes where in some units it even
went from lowest to top 3 indicators in the endline
• Weaker Puskesmas often had the biggest changes – Koya
Barat, Depapre, Hom-Hom and Limau Asri
• Fairness of Price(#11) is consistently the indicator with
the biggest changes, often highest in the endline.
However, this could be due to the new BPJS scheme and
the availability of special funding (Dana Otonomi
Khusus) for Papua affecting the number of people
covered by insurance.
SOCIAL IMPACT

Qualitative Findings
Theme 1: Increased
satisfaction with health
services at partner puskesmas
Clients were mostly satisfied
with simple demands
"...and the nurse or paramedic
staff, they did not use to smile
but now the changes are big,
things that they did not change
before, now have changed…" Puskesmas staff in Mimika
“Before there was no afternoon
service. To improve services in
this puskesmas they must have
afternoon service” – Puskesmas
staff in Jayapura district

Theme 2: Increased
knowledge and motivation
among health unit staff, but
challenges observed with
implementation
Health unit staff education
levels affect satisfaction with
training/program
“…there is personal motivation
in the unit staff, …we finally
have internal motivation…” –
Puskesmas staff in Jayapura
city
“…well, the first year was to
prepare…second year was to
familiarize ourselves. Year
three is where we see whether
it works or not. So, it did work
but definitely with challenges.
Year four and five should run
by itself. ” – Head of
Puskesmas in Jayawijaya

Theme 3: Increased public
engagement in provision of
health services
MSFs in Kota and Kab
Jayapura described
themselves as “overseer”
MSFs in Jayawijaya and
Mimika described themselves
as “helper”
“We feel that MSF is intimidating
us, when they should have been
facilitators. This problem actually
happens in]….” – Puskesmas staff
in Jayapura district
“..this forum is not ending
because Kinerja is no longer here,
but it will continue to meet as a
friend that helps them to advocate
and not just as a
overseer/referee…” District-level
MSF member in Mimika

Conslusions:
1. Improved capacity of partner units in
4 governance areas (OCA) & level
of satisfaction in Puskesmas (CSS)
2. Challenges in implementing new
knowledge/skills: biggest
improvements are still on basic
needs (operating hours,
infrastructure)
3. Improvements shown in weaker
areas & among lower capacity
districts
4. Improved knowledge but with limited
institutional change
5. Public engagement mechanism is
successful at improving services

Recommendations:
1. Intervention should align with
DHO’s needs, priorities &
schedules
2. Knowledge transfer and
institutional change are more
difficult in units that have many
competing priorities
3. Utilizing OCA/CSS findings to
address Puskesmas weakness
4. Capacitate DHO to monitor
Puskesmas & motivate
improvements
5. Strengthen public engagement via
MSFs on further subject
(advocacy & budget analysis)
