User Guide for Village Reporters (Pelsa)

Your role as a Pelsa

You have been chosen to be a village reporter (pelsa) and contribute to improving the health of livestock in your area, ensuring health problems are reported quickly and helping veterinary staff to respond effectively.

Pelsa play a vital role in Indonesia's animal health system. You are the people closest to the community and closest to the livestock and their owners. You are the first point of assistance for your community and the first line of defence in protecting your community.

You provide the farmers with a much needed link to the veterinary services and make it easier for the technicians to respond efficiently.

Role and Responsibilities

Pelsa should be able to;

  • Recognise signs of animal disease: Pelsa should be able to recognise when animals are showing signs that might mean they are suffering from disease, and be able to use a recognised vocabulary and their associated codes for describing these signs and syndromes.
  • Report signs of animal disease: Pelsa send case reports of sick animals to the veterinary services by sending a special, short, coded SMS. This instantly alerts the local Dinas staff responsible for that area that there is an animal in that village that is showing possible signs of disease. The local Dinas vet or para-vet can then respond to that alert with a phone call to the Pelsa, ask further questions to establish if they should visit or whether they can advise treatment over the phone.
  • Be a trusted link to the veterinary services: Some villagers may feel shy or uncomfortable about contacting their Dinas veterinary services staff directly. But as Pelsa are trusted members of their own communities, many villagers will feel much more comfortable talking to them. This may mean that many more cases of disease are reported in villages that have Pelsa, compared to villages without Pelsa. It does not of course mean that villages with pelsa have more disease, just more reported cases. As Pelsa become recognised and appreciated by their community for their work, there will be more people who will want to use the Pelsa’s services. This will ensure that the link between the community and the veterinary services stays strong and effective.
  • Be a source of information for the community: As the local contact person for their village, Pelsa can provide information from the local Dinas to the community. This may include notifications of animal disease cases or outbreaks in their area, or details of an upcoming vaccination program. Pelsa may also be able to participate or assist in activities related to vaccination or surveillance programs, keep population figures up to date and report the outcomes of various cases including if an animal has recovered from a particular reported problem.

Field reports to iSIKHNAS

You may hear about a health problem in the animal population in your area in a variety of ways. Perhaps a farmer will contact you directly, perhaps you will hear about it indirectly through someone else in the village or the pelsa may come across the problem himself while walking around the village or during the course of a normal day's activity. As soon as you hear about a new case you should try to visit the farmer and the animal if possible. Talk to the farmer and ask him about the 'history' of the problem - when he noticed it first, if it has got worse, whether other animals are affected etc. These details will help you to answer questions the dinas staff may ask you after you report the problem. Look carefully at the animal and remember your training.

The next thing you need to do is to report the problem. You must decide if the problem is a 'General' problem (Tanda Umum) or a 'Priority Syndrome' (Sindrom Prioritas). This will require you to look for and discount the short list of Priority Syndromes. If you think the case meets any of the Priority Syndrome descriptions then you should send an SMS using the P message format. If you can discount these syndromes then you should send an SMS message to iSIKHNAS using the U message format including the main signs that you see.

P messages received by the iSIKHNAS system will receive a faster response by the veterinary services because they may be diseases which could be dangerous to humans, or which spread quickly or which IF they get into Indonesia could be economically catastrophic for the country. Most P reports will ensure a visit by veterinary staff. General signs reports are very important too of course but much less likely to be disease of significance to the whole community. The veterinary staff will respond to these messages as soon as they can. Staff will likely call you to get more details and offer advice for treatment. Sometimes they will visit if they think the case needs further investigation.
