Between 9-13 April 2024, a Joint Risk Assessment (JRA) Workshop was conducted in Monrovia, Liberia, to assess the risk of three priority zoonotic diseases: Lassa fever, Anthrax, and Rabies.

The workshop was attended by 37 participants from national and subnational levels of the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, National Public Health Institute, and the Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia.

Nine representatives from the Africa One Health University, African Field Epidemiology Network, International Rescue Committee, FAO, WHO, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and Breakthrough Action were also present.

The proposed risk management options would be reviewed to strengthen the One Health preparedness and response strategies for priority zoonotic diseases in Liberia.
