Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO Virtual Learning Centers (VLCs) are virtual hubs designed to enhance One Health capacities by offering inclusive, dynamic and high-quality training tailored to regional and local needs. Our decentralized approach allows each VLC to create and deliver courses that are suited to its unique context, promoting resource sharing and best practices exchange across the network.This course catalogue introduces the VLCs and presents an extensive guide to the educational resources offered. Courses are divided into self-directed and tutored categories, with detailed descriptions of each course provided under thematic areas. Key topics include One Health, biosecurity, animal health, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and veterinary paraprofessionals (VPPs). Additionally, the catalogue features FAO tools and training workshops, providing a comprehensive array of the diverse learning opportunities available through the VLCs.

    The 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.
