What Kind of monitoring system?
• Improved information flow; data validation and feedback done by system
• Data can be retrieved at any time by the district, province or central level at the same time
• Program managers have more time for analysis and program planning e.g. scaling-up strategy, mapping sanitation market potentials
• Monitor performance of monitoring staff in sub-district health centers providing incentive for “champions”
• Easier benchmarking of districts by province, and sub-districts by district

Testimonial from Jombang, Pacitan, and Ponorogo
Monitoring data used to annually assess performance across districts – for district governance award –
has raised political profile of Sanitation in East Java

Lessons Learned 1. Measurement and monitoring of outcomes by all levels of
stakeholders is the key to achieving goals 2. Making monitoring public and transparent catalyzes
community action for time bound collective change 3. Communities able to generate high quality monitoring
data aligned with JMP requirements 4. Manual data transfer from community maps to LG
databases becomes burdensome when programs scale up – SMS-based system for key access data transfer min. monthly.
5. Institutional incentives are necessary to make monitoring data flow smoothly and regularly.
6. Long term sustainability of sanitation MIS requires demand for such data from national systems.
