used in the program. Then documents will be comprehended regarding the improvement of
program implementation. From this stage it will be known to what extent the TKI Bijak
program has been implemented, and what modifications have been made.

Field Research:
Two kind of data collection techniques from two research approaches will be applied in the
implementation of this evaluation activity, in-depth interviews and surveys.

In-depth interviews will be applied to determine the factors that affect program achievement,
program effects on beneficiaries, and program implementation processes from the beneficiary
side. In-depth interviews will be conducted on pre departure workers, workers who have
returned home, labor suppliers (PJTKI/BP3TKI), local radio, NGO activist on labour migration
issue , and the local government from Manpower Office. Informant development and issues
will be carried out during implementation in the field.

TKI Bijak program. This survey will be conducted on new and experienced workers. The
development of subject categorization will be carried out in line with the findings of the sample
category in the field.

Sampling techniques in in-depth interviews will follow the principle of theoretical sampling.
Which the determination of the sample is based on the competency of the informant in
answering the questions to be asked. Authority will also be taken into consideration, though
not the main thing. In the survey technique, sampling will be carried out using the principle
of stratified quota sampling. Where the three regions will be the basis of division. Each regional
team is obliged to determine the population framework to take survey samples.

Data Analysis:
All data that has been collected will be analyzed through several stages. The findings in each
region will be compared to find similarities and uniqueness among them. From here, the
consultant will find the forms of program effectiveness and the contributing factors. Then the
consultant can deduce important indicators of the program as a whole. The field story will also
provide the perspective of beneficiaries, whether this program brings benefits or not for them.
If so, what kind of benefits do they feel, and vice versa. Quantitative data can provide a big
picture of the condition of the workforce as a beneficiary of the program. Comparison between
groups can be done to sort the variables that are predicted to be the determining variables for
the program in the future.
