In most cases Rutgers WPF supervises its projects in developing countries from its head offfice in Utrecht, the Netherlands, carrying out field trips whenever necessary. However, in Pakistan, Vietnam and Indonesia the programmes are so large that supervision by a local office proves more efficient.
Advantages of working through field offices:
- Possibility of gaining a better understanding of the context/setting;
- Better understanding of the sexual and reproductive health and rights' situation and issues;
- Efficiency and cost-effectiveness in project/programme management;
- Possibility of developing a closer partnership with partners;
- Actively participate in local SRHR networks;
- Access to decentralised funding opportunities.
