Using iSIKHNAS data to support budget advocacy

Facilitator Guide

About this guide

This guide contains information to help facilitators prepare for and deliver the training course on Using iSIKHNAS data for Budget Advocacy in Indonesia.

The guide contains an overview of the course including the course structure, objectives, and required resources to run the training. It contains information on how to prepare for a successful course and how to facilitate each session.

Each facilitator will receive a copy of this guide along with the Training resource package which contains all documents required to facilitate the course.

Facilitators should read through the training material prior to the training course. Becoming familiar with the other supporting administrative material is also important.

A highly practical guide, Training Facilitation: How to facilitate a course and help people to learn, has been developed in order to support and further develop your facilitation skills. You should read this manual prior to the course to help you feel more confident and to get the most benefit out of the course material.

Requirements for the facilitator

The facilitator should:

• Have a general understanding of animal health and disease control (ideally a veterinarian but not essential)

• Have a some experience in presenting/facilitating workshops

• Have a basic understanding of iSIKHNAS functions

• Have experience using Excel and Pivot tables

• Work through the exercises yourself so that you are familiar with them

Overview of the course

This training course was developed as part of the Australian Indonesian Partnership for Emerging Infectious Disease - Animal Health Program.

The overarching aim for Component 2.1 of the AIP-EID Animal Health Program is to improve the collection, management and use of animal health information to improve capacity for effective disease control and prevention.

The training in Using iSIKHNAS data for Budget Advocacy in Indonesia has been developed to provide District and Provincial staff with the skills required to use data from iSIKHNAS and other sources to support proposals for increased resourcing, either toallow staff to fulfil their role properly or for particular programs to improve animal health services and outcomes for livestock owners.

Competency statement

A competency statement is a description of what an individual may be expected to be able to do to be successful in their work.

For Indonesian government staff who have responsibilities for preparing budgets requests, to be able to use analyses of animal health data together with animal health economics skills to support budget advocacy for improving animal health in Indonesia.

In order to achieve this they will need to be able to:

• Explain considerations due to the intended audience, that are taken when planning presentation of information or data

• Describe how performance indicators can be used to measure progress or achievements of goals and how this data can support budget requests

• Use iSIKHNAS data to estimate the cost of disease, estimate benefits from proposes animal health activities, and justify the proposed budget request

Structure of the course

The course is designed to be delivered over 3 days, totalling 12 teaching sessions. The first session is an introduction to the course and the last session will focus on conclusions and the closing ceremony. This leaves 10 sessions for content training.

The general structure of each session is

• Introduction to the session

• PowerPoint presentation associated with this session is presented and discussed

• Activities and exercises

• Key concepts review and discussion

Training resource package

The training resources package for this course include the following:

• Facilitator's Guide - to be provided to all facilitators.

• Participants' manual - to be available to each participant. An easy-to-read document containing the summarised content covered in the course. The manual will be used by participants as reference material during the course and afterwards. The manual will also be made available online and as a PDF file that can be downloaded and viewed on any computer or tablet device.

• PowerPoint files - to be provided to all facilitators and made available online or as electronic files to all participants. There will be one PowerPoint file for each session containing content for the facilitator to speak to and prompts for activities and exercises to be run during the session.

• Administration documents - to be provided to all facilitators. These documents include: facilitators training package information, participant pre-course information, training course preparation checklist, attendance list, certificate template, and are needed to effectively run the training.

• Evaluation forms - to be provided to all facilitators and participants. The evaluation forms are used for two purposes: evaluation of participant performance, and for collecting feedback on the course from participants and facilitators.

• Online support - a website has been developed to make resource material available online. Teaching materials and additional learning resources will be made available through the website.

Preparing for the Budget Advocacy course

Who should be at the training?

This course has been designed for:

• District-level dinas staff (primarily veterinarians) with responsibility for preparing budget requests, either within their own organisation, or from Bappeda (the district planning council) and

• Provincial and central staff with budgeting responsibilities.

Participants will need to have access to a computer and have experience using Excel spreadsheets.

Where should the training be held?

The training venue should be comfortable, quiet and away from distractions such as participants' offices. The training room should be equipped with tables and chairs that can be moved around and there should be sufficient room for participants to be able to work comfortably in group exercises. There should be whiteboards, flipcharts, computer and projectors, and plenty of wall space to display ground rules, expectations, and the outcomes from group exercises.

What resources are needed?

• Enough copies of the Participant manual to provide one copy to every participant

• Facilitator's Guide for each facilitator

• Whiteboard , white board marker pens & eraser; flipchart and paper for flipchart and marker pens, adhesive to stick paper to wall, pens for participants, blank note paper for participants.

• Facilitators will need a laptop computer, projector, and microphone if necessary.

• Participants will need laptop computers with Excel installed. There should be enough computers for participants to at least share usage in small groups.

Projecting PowerPoint files

The training material includes PowerPoint files intended to be projected during each session.

It is suggested that facilitators use Presenter View (in Microsoft Office 2010 or later) to project the facilitator file. Using Presenter View is a great way to view your presentation with speaker notes on one computer (your laptop, for example), while your audience views the notes-free presentation projected on a larger screen.

The facilitator file has been developed with notes inserted so that when using presenter view the facilitator can view the explanatory notes and suggestions relating to each slide as it is projected.

If facilitators do not have Microsoft Officer 2010 or later, then this capacity may not be functional. In that case facilitators may wish to print handout versions of the PowerPoint files so they can refer to these notes as they project their PowerPoint files.

Assessment of participant performance

Assessment of participant performance should be based on two criteria. The first is attendance at each of the three training days. Participants will be asked to sign their names at an attendance sheet each morning so there is a record of attendance each day.

The second criteria for assessment is through facilitators observing participants during the training course and recording brief notes on participation during training and any relevant comments.

During this assessment process facilitators should consider allocating participants to three broad categories:

• those that are doing an outstanding job of participating in discussions and showing an understanding of the concepts,

• those who are participating and grasping most of the concepts, and

• those who appear to not understand issues or make little contribution to discussion and activities

It will be important that facilitators be prepared to provide extra discussion and review for participants that appear to be struggling to understand concepts and also to try and encourage these individuals to participate more in group activities.

How to use the Facilitator Guide

The purpose of this facilitator guide is to provide information to facilitate each of the training course sessions effectively. Some parts of the Guide provide examples of what you can say in different sections. Some less experienced facilitators may find it useful but you are not obliged to follow this advice.

Information is provided for each session under the following headings:
