This study evaluates an Empowerment Agency Training (EAT) intervention within the SPHERES programme that aims to strengthen personal agency among workers in primary healthcare centers (Puskesmas) in Indonesia. The intervention focuses on building self-efficacy, behavioural control, leadership, and intentional decision-making through structured training, follow-up action planning, observational support, and sustainability-oriented incentives. Strengthening personal agency is expected to improve the use of data for decision-making and the delivery of priority primary health services at the Puskesmas level.
