Synopsis (short abstract) The Guide to implementing the One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA) at national level provides practical guidance on how countries can adopt and adapt the OH JPA to strengthen and support national One Health action. Building on the OH Joint Plan of Action theory of change, this Guide describes three pathways and five key steps to implement the OH JPA at national level: • Pathway 1 – Governance, policy, legislation, financing and advocacy • Pathway 2 – Organizational and institutional development, implementation and sectoral integration • Pathway 3 – Data, evidence, information systems and knowledge exchange. The Guide is a joint publication by the four Quadripartite organizations, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH).

    The document outlines the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA), a global framework for addressing health threats through a collaborative, multi-sectoral approach. Six action tracks guide the implementation, focusing on areas like zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Three pathways for change – governance, organisational development, and data systems – support national action plan development or integration within existing plans. The Quadripartite (FAO, UNEP, WHO, and WOAH) provides technical guidance, capacity building, and funding support to countries. Ultimately, the OH JPA aims to improve human, animal, and environmental health through sustainable interventions.

    The Quadripartite Organizations – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE), and the World Health Organization (WHO) – collaborate to drive the change and transformation required to mitigate the impact of current and future health challenges at the human–animal– plant–environment interface at global, regional and country level. Responding to international requests to prevent future pandemics and to promote health sustainably through the One Health approach, the Quadripartite has developed the One Health Joint Plan of Action (2022–2026) (OH JPA). The OH JPA outlines the commitment of the four organizations to collectively advocate and support the implementation of One Health. It builds on, complements and adds value to existing global and regional One Health and coordination initiatives aimed at strengthening capacity to address complex multidimensional health risks with more resilient health systems at global, regional and national level.
