  1. A website for leprosy control support (NLR) A pilot in India 2007-2010 Anrik Engelhard AE100210-2

  2. Special Thanks The website pilot was made possible by • Jan Willem Dogger, NLR project officer, • Dr M.A. Arif, country representative • All staff of NLR Branch Office and • Field staff of NLR India who participated in the workshops AE100210-2

  3. A pilot • Since 2007 www.nlrindia.org • Website as tool for NLR support in India • Information management • Communication within project, with HQ, stakeholders, public • Public area and intranet for NLR staff • Workshops: requirements, skills, stepwise building structure, content AE100210-2

  4. Considerations • The pilot should primarily focus on leprosy content management, not on IT, not on a specific content management system (CMS) • A site as a tool for information that is more sustainable, accessible and multipurpose • Simple and low cost • Design of website structure by project staff • Template (look&feel) according NLR HQ • Content management by staff • Gradual development: BO, states, districts AE100210-2

  5. Why this content management system (SiteatSchool)? • Sheer luck I hit on it • Compliant with some fundamental principles that I liked • Simple, stable, secure, no thrills • For those without time, knowledge, skills • Freedom (“ open source” OSS GPL), no vendor lock-in, you always can switch to something you like more) AE100210-2

  6. The pilot • Workshops in Delhi with branch office and field staff • Discussions with NLR Project Officer, KIT (IT and Education) • Discussions / work with Helpdesk CMS AE100210-2

  7. The pilot • Better appreciation of the design goals of the CMS • Their coherence and consistency • Modular structure • Multi language (now +/- 15 languages) • Inexperienced users publish their own pages • Easy maintenance by non experienced users AE100210-2

  8. The pilot • Design goals of the CMS (cont) • Very flexible access rights • Simple installation of the CMS • No creeping featurism • Safety and security by embedding the CMS in a comprehensive server (again, free downloadable and service at hand) • Adaptation of CMS is possible • Alternative CMSs available • www.siteatschool.org • www.serveratschool.net AE100210-2

  9. Results so far • A basic website produced by project team • Team made content • More understanding on information and knowledge management, communication • More discussion on websites • Reports on the pilot AE100210-2

  10. Costs • Registration/hosting +/- € 90/yr • Technical Maintenance/Helpdesk currently < € 250/yr • Customized template (for NLR branding) < € 500 • Installation € 0 AE100210-2

  11. References • Reports on the website workshops • www.nlrindia.org • www.siteatschool.org • www.serveratschool.net AE100210-2

  12. At this stage • Time to further upload content according to plan • Time to involve more LPA’s at state level • Time to evaluate achievements so far • ….But first, time for Dr Arif to demonstrate the site….. AE100210-2
