Taking a multisectoral, One Health approach is necessary to address complex health threats at the human-animal-environment interface.
The Tripartite organizations – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation of Animal Health (OIE), and the World Health Organization (WHO), launched the Tripartite Zoonoses Guide (TZG), the summation of a global effort of more than 100 experts coming together from around the world to provide guidance and best practices for addressing zoonotic diseases in countries.
Using country examples shared in the TZG, this training introduces participants to the technical chapters in the Guide while providing practical guidance for strengthening a One Health approach to zoonotic diseases.
Target Audience: Professionals from human, animal or environmental health sectors involved in the implementation of the IHR.
After completing this course you should be able to:
- Understand the purpose of the TZG.
- Recognize the tools that can be used to understand national context and priorities for One Health.
