Supporting Pandemic Preparedness and Response through a One Health Approach in Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri Lanka - GCP/GLO/1182/WBK 2025

Also available in:

No results found.

Health threats significantly impact social and economic well-being and jeopardize progress towards the SDGs, as demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The One Health approach addresses threats at the human–animal–plant–environment interface, fostering multisectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration for more sustainable outcomes, including pandemic prevention and cost-effective control of zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance. In South Asia, countries have shown strong commitment to One Health, recognizing its role in improving health, agricultural productivity, food and nutrition security, and environmental protection as part of agrifood systems transformation. Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri Lanka are at particular risk and in high need of pandemic preparedness and additional capacity to mitigate threats. However, financing One Health at the country level remains a major challenge despite growing demand for investment planning and implementation support. This project was conceived to help countries, starting with Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka, leverage investment based on thorough prospecting and planning and anchored in national priorities, to mobilize significant resources for long-term impact.
