After fours years of operation, Internews is now in the process of transitioning PJTV from an international development project to a permanent component of the Communications Faculty of the University of Indonesia (UI).

Although the Assessment and Evaluation will require the consultant to assess Internews' PJTV Phase II program activities against program goals through review of program monitoring reports, consulting with key media, academic, NGO and government stakeholders and Internews staff, analysis of Phase I of the project will enable the consultant to provide a thorough assessment of the project's conception and better enable a study of the lessons learned over the length of the entire project.
