The real measure of success in the work that FAO does, is how effectively they help the most needy to live free of hunger, in better health and with stronger livelihoods. In 2013, FAO worked in north-eastern Uganda to explore how the concept of One Health can be implemented at the community level. This video highlights the work that the FAO team together with villagers, district health, agriculture and wildlife officials, and national decision-makers did to improve delivery of health services for pastoralists and their livestock. They identified brucellosis, a bacterial disease causing human suffering and livestock production losses, and took steps to assist in preventing this disease. Most importantly, the video shows how One Health teams can listen carefully to community members, both in setting health priorities and determining the best ways to help the community to improve their lives and livelihoods.

The film showcases biocultural Protocols highlighting the Raika community of Rajasthan and the Samburu of Kenya.

In this video Maasai elders in Kenya recall the devastation they have seen caused by rinderpest, or cattle plague. For millennia, the virus was a threat to animal health and human livelihoods, until a global FAO-led programme was successful in eradicating it in 2011.

This film is made by Maasai pastoralists, living near Oltepesi in Kenya, in March 2009. It documents the devastating impacts of a seemingly endless drought across the region that killed livestock and people, threatened livelihoods and caused wide-spread suffering to many of the indigenous pastoralist communities. Nomadic pastoralists, like the Maasai, face tremendous pressures on their traditional way of life from other groups, their own government, and now climate change. Yet, their traditions and knowledge make them more adaptable than most.
