Livestock sector and One Health-related policies and laws provide the overarching framework that guides the development and transformation of the livestock sector. Local authorities, and in particular frontline animal health officers, are responsible for their implementation. To perform their function properly, frontline animal health officers should not only be technically competent but also adequately knowledgeable about these policies and laws. We interviewed 209 frontline animal health officers about their working modalities and livestock sector relevant policy and law awareness in two largely urban and peri-urban sub-regions of each Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda, not far from the capital cities. On average, 60 percent of officers could quote at least one livestock law and 44 percent have heard of the One Health approach. There were great differences between countries, awareness on policies, laws and One Health were lowest in Ethiopia, followed by Kenya and highest in Uganda. We also found that in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda 22, 14 and 4 percent of officers have never recieved any training since they started working. A Poisson model shows that participating in trainings is associated with an increase in the number of policies or laws and officer can quote. A logit model suggests that participating in trainings increases the odds of an officer having heard of One Health.

Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050: Public–private engagement at local level to support One Health policy implementation
A stepwise approach based on experiences from the poultry value chain in Uganda

Uganda has a relatively comprehensive policy and regulatory framework to prevent, detect and respond to outbreaks of zoonotic diseases and AMR along the livestock value chain. Its full implementation, however, remains a challenge. One of the reasons is that there is little systematic information on the challenges and constraints policy implementers face on the ground. The FAO, through the Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 Project, has joined forces with the government of Uganda and the district governments of Mukono and Wakiso and other stakeholders to support the implementation of the existing policy and regulatory framework along the poultry value chain. This brief provides a summary of the efforts made over the past two years in close collaboration with private and public stakeholders.
