Since the third quarter of fiscal year  2009, CISCAI has been  in exploratory/coordinative  talks with the Tim Penanggulangan Flu Burung (TPFB)  of Muhammadiyah.  The coordinative meetings are offshoot from the  Mini-Workshop on State-of the-Art ICT Applications for Monitoring and Management of Avian Influenza (AI) in Indonesia, held last 16 June 2009 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

CISCAI’s collaboration with  TPFB Muhammadiyah, should  this be realized, would provide a great impact  on  Indonesia’s fight against  the dreaded AI disease,  Indonesia having  the highest incidence, as well as, human mortality  cases due to AI.

Running on its fifth coordinative meeting as of March 2010, CISCAI and Muhammadiyah hope to focus on ICT-enabled systems, foremost of which is a CISCAI-Muhammadiyah AI Volunteers Database  for  immediate reporting and response among its thousands  of  grassroots-based volunteers.  

The  developing  team up by CISCAI with TPFB  Muhammadiyah is deemed to be strategic  in the common  fight against  AI, in that the latter  particularly has a large  Indonesian proletariat grounding and support, as well as, a long and rich history of  socio-cultural and religious experience in  the  whole of Indonesia.

TPFB Muhammadiyah is currently headed by Ms. Dhian Rachmawati, Program Coordinator  (erstwhile, by Ms,  Ita Rahma). Muhammadiyah (Persyarikatan Muhammadiyah) at the moment, is one of the  largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia with an estimated 29 million members. Although Muhammadiyah leaders and members are often actively involved in shaping the politics in Indonesia, Muhammadiyah is not a political party. It has devoted itself to social and educational activities.  (CISCAI-PCU)
