No results found.Women farmers represent a crucial target group for the implementation of One Health strategies. Their dual role in managing livestock alongside domestic responsibilities like food preparation puts them at high risk for food-and animal-borne diseases, but also positions them as potential catalysts for improving livestock health, household health and family nutrition. Globally, women receive only five percent of agricultural extension services. To realize their potential as agents of change, we need to boost this number. The FAO Virtual Learning Centre online training on Female Leadership and One Health has been designed especially for frontline human health and animal health professionals in West Africa. -

Building capacity for effective online learning tailored to regional needs
2022The FAO Virtual Learning Centers (VLCs) are virtual hubs established to develop and improve One Health capacities in all FAO regions. Their mission is to provide trainees with access to inclusive, engaging and high-quality training using a variety of methodologies. The VLCs’ training courses target country actors in the areas related to FAO’s One Health mandate, including government officials and technical staff, programme and project coordinators, practitioners and professionals working in the field, such as veterinarians, animal health workers, experts in forestry, wildlife, aquaculture and fisheries, in addition to public health experts. The VLCs follow a decentralized model that empowers FAO regions to develop and deliver courses that closely consider regional needs and context. This model also makes it possible to scale up the delivery of courses and share resources and good practices between VLCs. This brochure outlines the VLCs and the activities of the six regional VLCs. -
