The open-ended and self-designed questionnaire was slightly adapted for each level and type of involvement. The healthcare team's questionnaire included items on reasons/motivations behind participation in monitoring and reporting, and the forestry database team's questionnaire was adapted for each level of involvement (i.e. local or national) and for the institute that was interviewed (i.e. private or government owned).
The healthcare team conducted individual and group interviews with informants (both volunteers and government workers) who directly collect, report and manage Posyandu data. The forestry team interviewed informants from both public and private sector institutes who are currently involved in forestry data management at the selected sites in Indonesia.
The interviews were based on the questionnaires and contained between 35 and 40 open-ended questions. The interviews were usually less than one hour. Additional information was gathered via informal discussions, for example participants were asked their opinion on the feasibility of PMRV for carbon monitoring in Indonesia. Where possible and desirable, interviews with informants were planned upfront and approval was sought from related institutes and/or a higher level. If voice-recording equipment was used, approval was again sought upfront and it was explained that these recordings would remain confidential. After the interview, answers were checked for clarity and transcribed into Bahasa Indonesia. A native speaking (Bahasa Indonesia) team member later translated the interviews into English. When answers were missing or unclear, the informant was asked for clarification via a phone call or a personal visit.
In each of the selected provinces, one district was chosen for analysis of information flow in the current PMRV system for both the healthcare and the forestry sectors. Below is a short description of the key informants who were interviewed between July and December 2013 for the healthcare team and the forestry database team.
