Report on COHESA-Quadripartite joint training on One Health resources, tools, and trainings to support capacity building in the One Health workforce

The One Health (OH) approach recognizes the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health, and calls for collaborative efforts across these sectors to tackle complex and emerging health threats. In Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA), however, significant gaps remain ineffective in t...

description The One Health (OH) approach recognizes the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health, and calls for collaborative efforts across these sectors to tackle complex and emerging health threats. In Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA), however, significant gaps remain ineffective in the implementation of this approach particularly in the areas of education, workforce development, and coordination between institutions. The Quadripartite organizations (FAO, WHO, WOAH, and UNEP), in collaboration with the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP), have identified education as a key area for advancing OH. Strengthening competencies and building a well-trained, multidisciplinary workforce is essential for regional and global preparedness and response to health challenges. Recent findings from Capacitating One Health in Eastern and Southern Africa (COHESA) study (Yussuf et al., 2025) . also highlight these gaps. The study reports limited awareness of existing OH programs, a lack of harmonized competency frameworks, and insufficient institutional collaboration in the region The COHESA-Quadripartite joint training on OH resources, tools, and training was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, over five days in March 2025.
