Synopsis (short abstract) This report represents an attempt to operationalize the “One-Health” concept in Ethiopia. It is the result of an open and continuous multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary dialogue, guided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in collaboration with the Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Along this consultative process, national stakeholders have innovated under different perspectives. The report provides information on the methodology used to measure the returns of policies and investments aimed at tackling zoonotic diseases, whose outbreaks can have major negative impact on society, such as bovine tuberculosis and anthrax. What is possibly most valuable is that this report represents a key milestone in a longer journey we have all embarked on: we have agreed to build on this report to continue an open and informed multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary dialogue about the long-term dynamics of the livestock sector in Ethiopia. Our objective is to appreciate its trends and likely future impacts on society in order to design and implement informed policies and investments today, which will ensure a sustainable development trajectory of the livestock sector in this country in the long-term, for the benefits of the future generations.

    Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 (ASL2050) is drawing lessons out of the past growth of the livestock sector in Asia to assist countries in the African continent to formulate policies that ensure a sustainable growth of livestock, from an environmental, public health and social perspective. This document is part of a series of six documents within the ASL2050 project comparing livestock sector development in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. These broad overviews sharpen our understanding, highlight contrasts and similarities, test hypotheses, and inform the decision-making process. This paper presents a comparative review of the impact of the livestock sector on public health in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
