Basic founding principles of iSIKHNAS

As any system matures, it is valuable to keep in mind of the founding principles upon which it was designed and built. iSIKHNAS will become the backbone of all Indonesia's efforts to improve animal health, secure the livelihoods of livestock owners and ensure good management of production and food supply in the country. It was designed and built in careful collaboration with a wide range of dedicated staff working for improved animal health in many different regions.

iSIKHNAS was designed so that it should;

• be flexible, user-friendly, sustainable and bring benefit to all of its users.
• meet the needs of users from as many sectors of the livestock industry as possible.
• use appropriate technology and not require great change to existing systems.
• integrate existing systems to facilitate the collaborative use of data.
• simplify and ease the data entry burden and ensure the rapid availability of data from the field.
• recognise the vital contribution each user plays in the transfer of information.
• provide benefit and good service to all its users.
• make all data widely and freely available for decision making at all levels and for a multitude of purposes.

As a system coordinator, your leadership and guidance will help to ensure these principles remain fundamental to the system and its users. iSIKHNAS is not a data collection tool but an integrated system which will empower its users with access to relevant, up to date information rapidly and cheaply so that they can concentrate on core activities. As a coordinator, you are part of the new animal health service which is built on good relationships, clear and timely communication, leadership and support.

Whilst much effort has been gone into minimising change, the new iSIKHNAS will inevitably bring about some change for all staff. Every coordinator will have to be equipped to chaperone newcomers to the system, assist in training and system operations, offer support by telephone and email, monitor reporting, errors and address weaknesses. Staff should be congratulated and thanked, given positive reinforcement for their successful engagement with the system and assisted wherever there are difficulties. Collaboration with livestock owners and their communities should give benefit or have positive outcomes at every interaction. At every step, we should remember that this is a system for providing a service to all its users equally. If everyone contributes with this in mind we will all benefit.
