| description | There is a growing body of support among medical and veterinary communities advocating One Health and
other holistic health paradigms as progressive approaches to improving the health of humans, animals and our
environment. The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) is committed to the potential benefits of the
approach. There remains the substantial challenge of how to implement ùon the groundû. Some of the barriers are
well described, such as adequate incentive for multiple disciplines to work together (especially biomedical and
social sciences), and who will ultimately lead and coordinate such efforts.
The EcoHealth Approach to the Prevention & Control of Zoonotic Emerging Infectious Diseases in the Southeast
Asia Region (EcoZD) is a 5-and-a-half
year project being implemented by ILRI in 6 countries - funded by the International
Development Research Centre in Canada. Its core objective is to capacity build researchers and other key actors
in the field of emerging zoonoses through applying an EcoHealth approach.
In many of the project countries we have identified additional constraints to those described above, such as
limited human resources (specifically in areas of technical expertise and language); these same resources
overburdened with multiple ODA projects both confined to particular sectors as well as the more progressive
inter-sectoral and multi-sectoral ones. The poster will discuss the process of moving from the One Health
conceptual framework to practical application by reporting on the progress, lessons learned and particularly
ongoing challenges - such as those described above; also whether the priority is 'emerging' zoonoses or 'endemic'
(neglected) zoonoses. |
