The Monev session continued with a presentation by Kumara Tungga Dewa, S.S., Mobility Program Staff of the IO UNHAS. His presentation highlighted the overall implementation and achievements of the KNB Scholarship program at UNHAS. Following the presentation, a question-and-answer session was held, during which the Monev team provided feedback and sought clarification on several aspects of the program’s execution.

The evaluation was divided into two main sessions. The first session involved discussions between the Monev team and UNHAS administrative staff, while the second session focused on direct engagement with the KNB awardees.
