Module 2 : Pelsa : Village Reporters
Overview
Pelsa (Pelapor Desa) provide an important link between the farming communities and the local veterinary services. Pelsa are locally based, motivated individuals chosen by their community to work with the farmers, report problems, act as a liaison person and assist the animal health field staff in treatments and follow-up.
Although often well able to identify animal disease and other problems, these village-based reporters should be supported by training in signs recognition, clarification of terminology used to describe problems and in the reporting of problems using short, simply coded SMS. Pelsa are at the front line of the animal disease monitoring service and a strong network of Pelsa are an asset to any district animal health service.
Target Audience
Courses can be conducted as a way of identifying suitable new Pelsa as well as training people who have already been acting in similar roles and who are already experienced in acting as a informan kunci or kader, for example.
Pelsa should be village based and easily accessible to local farmers.
Pre-requisites
Some experience with animals, livestock and farmers. Based in village. Chosen by the community as a recommended link and resource point to the district animal health staff. Willingness to engage in the role and be easily accessible to local farmers.
