Synopsis (short abstract) In November 2022, the Programme Committee endorsed the Office of Evaluation (OED)’s work plan of evaluations 2022–2025, which included an evaluation of FAO’s Programme Priority Area on One Health (Better Production 3). This Programme Priority Area (Better Production 3), created under the Strategic Framework 2022–2031 has its roots in FAO’s decades-long work on issues related to One Health.In April 2010, FAO authored A Tripartite Concept Note, together with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, former OIE), on “Sharing responsibilities and coordinating global activities to address health risks at the animalhuman- ecosystems interfaces”, and thus creating the Tripartite on One Health. In 2021, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) joined and expanded the international collaboration into the Quadripartite. In May 2021, the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) was launched to provide the Quadripartite with evidencebased scientific and policy advice to address the challenges raised at the animal-human-environment interface using the One Health approach.

Improving animal health: a key to sustainable livestock production and better human health 2023

Also available in:

No results found.

Improving animal health is imperative for sustainable livestock production, with wider implications for environmental preservation and human nutrition. It is not only about food security but also a step towards safeguarding human health via a One Health approach that unifies strategy that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals, and the environment. Livestock production significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, with ruminants being major contributors due mainly to the methane they produce. This policy brief underscores the interconnectedness of cattle health, methane emissions, and food security. Improving animal health will curb global warming, advance national climate commitments, bolster livestock adaptation to climate change, and increase the production of animal-sourced food.

Guidance for One Health field epidemiology learning evaluation and certification
A supplemental manual to the Competencies for One Health field epidemiology (COHFE) framework
2024

Also available in:

No results found.

This guidance was created to assist One Health field epidemiology training programmes determine how best to evaluate their participants and create a set of certification criteria that best fits their country context. The document is intended for in-service training programmes only and does not necessarily apply to preservice training programmes, which typically involve more didactic learning and limited field experiences. While the focus of the document is to support One Health field epidemiology training programmes, this guidance depends heavily on practices from existing primarily sector specific programmes and therefore may also be applicable for other types of FETPs.

Guidance for One Health field epidemiology continuing education programmes
A supplemental manual to the Competencies for One Health field epidemiology (COHFE) framework
2024

Also available in:

No results found.

This document details the guidance for criteria to develop continuing education (CE) programming in field epidemiology. The document provides information for minimum guidance to implement a CE programme at the country level. The need for field epidemiologists to strengthen a country’s capabilities in disease surveillance, outbreak investigation and response is recognized by the global health sector. Several countries already have applied epidemiology training programmes (e.g., FETP, FETPV,ISAVET) to develop or strengthen these capabilities.FAO, WHO and WOAH recognize that One Health is an integral part of these programmes, in accordance with the definition of One Health from the One Health High-Level Expert Panel.
