Preface
Background and context
The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Emerging Infectious Diseases (AIP-EID) Program aims to enhance the capacity of the Indonesian animal health system to prevent, detect and control emerging infectious diseases, including disease in humans that originate from animals. An assessment of Indonesia’s animal health information needs and capabilities was conducted from May to August 2012. A desire to increase the speed of data collection and analysis, and to integrate multiple different data sources was identified as part of the assessment. In response to the assessment, a single integrated database (iSIKHNAS), with multiple flexible portals for data submission and data access, including email, SMS, Web, direct software connections and custom applications on handheld devices is being developed. Excel is already widely used for local data management, and will be used (in conjunction with email) as a key part of the data management, capture and transfer system of iSIKHNAS. This Basic Excel training course is the first of a series of Excel training courses that will develop skills in data management and Excel use.
