Robine Van Der Eijk currently serves as the Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (PMEL) Advisor at Rutgers, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) initiatives. In this capacity, Robine leverages her expertise in project coordination, research, and data analysis to ensure that program strategies are evidence-based, impactful, and aligned with the overarching goal of fostering a gender-just society. Her work primarily focuses on the Right Here Right Now partnership, an innovative initiative dedicated to enabling young people of all backgrounds and identities to access comprehensive SRHR services and information. Through rigorous monitoring and evaluation frameworks, Robine helps track progress, identify gaps, and inform adaptive programming that effectively addresses the diverse needs of youth.

Robine’s background in international development, with a specialization in global health and migration from Sciences Po Paris, enriches her approach to SRHR advocacy. Her master’s thesis, which examined sexual and reproductive healthcare access for undocumented migrants in the Netherlands, underscores her commitment to health as a fundamental human right and her dedication to addressing health disparities among marginalized populations. Her skills in data analysis tools such as STATA and SPSS, combined with her proficiency in project management and diplomacy, enable her to foster collaborative partnerships and advocate for sustainable change. Passionate about women’s empowerment and gender equality, Robine continuously seeks innovative ways to integrate community voices into program design and evaluation, ensuring that SRHR initiatives are inclusive, rights-based, and culturally sensitive. Her work exemplifies a holistic, data-driven approach to advancing global health goals and promoting equitable access to sexual and reproductive health services worldwide.
