This report has been prepared by Mark Fiorello of PT SOLIDARITAS Consultindo Abadi (SOLIDARITAS), the consultant contracted by the Education Partnership – Performance Oversight and Monitoring unit (EP-POM) on behalf of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to support Indonesia Mengajar (IM) to summarize the results of a “performance analysis and identification of relevant lessons from comparable organizations” (cumulatively, the “assignment” or the “review”). This is the final deliverable of the assignment. This report is intended to provide IM with a summary of the key findings that have emerged over the course of the assignment. These findings are intended to be used as a reference by IM for further developing and refining its overall strategy for the period 2016-2021 and beyond. DFAT (and more specifically DFAT’s Education Unit at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta) is a potential secondary user of the information presented in this report.
