Book (stand-alone)One Health Joint Plan of Action, 2022–2026
Working together for the health of humans, animals, plants and the environment
2022The 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. -
BookletOne Health and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework
Guidance for United Nations Country Teams 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.This Guidance Note for Resident Coordinators and United Nations Country Teams (UNCT) aims to ensure that One Health is adequately included in the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks (UNSDCF). The UNSDCF should support mainstreaming One Health approaches into national development plans and enable better streamlining and integration of relevant One Health activities in order to contribute to the strengthening of overall health systems. One Health is an integrated, unifying approach to sustainably optimize the health of people, animals, plants and ecosystems by acting together to manage health threats and promote good health. One Health approaches are increasingly being taken up by countries, given the frequency and severity of threats linking the health of humans, animals, plants and the environment. The approach is vital to addressing ongoing multidimensional health challenges, including: emerging infectious diseases and pandemics like COVID-19; the burden of zoonotic diseases; the upsurge of food, land and water safety hazards; the impacts of pollution; the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance; and the degradation of natural ecosystems and biodiversity. This Guidance Note has been developed by 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) (known collectively as the Quadripartite). The guidelines should be considered in the content of the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action (2022-2026) which provides the vision and guidance for the inclusion of a One Health approach at country level and within the UNSDCF. -
BookletQuadripartite One Health Intelligence Scoping Study
Final report
2023Also available in:
No results found.The One Health Intelligence Scoping Study (OHISS) is an initiative of the Quadripartite alliance of 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, founded as OIE). In June 2021, the G7 Carbis Bay Health Declaration requested that the Quadripartite conduct a scoping study to identify opportunities for further technical harmonization of their systems to strengthen One Health Intelligence and to improve global health security. OHISS was funded by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and coordinated by FAO. The following foundational activities were carried out to assess needs and opportunities: an extensive literature review; engagement with international experts and diverse stakeholders; review of national critical competencies and ‘best practice’ case studies; an assessment of Quadripartite activities and prioritized early warning systems selected according to their potential to contribute to One Health intelligence; and a hazard identification exercise (risk scaping) to define One Health scope and priorities. For the identified priority hazards, a series of workshops were conducted with international experts to assess the ‘risk landscape’, identifying and prioritizing multiple potential monitoring points. The key recommendation of OHISS is that immediate actions are taken to develop a global One Health Intelligence System (OHIS). The global OHIS would establish a framework to link, strengthen and further develop One Health intelligence activities, and it would be led by the Quadripartite organizations. The development the global OHIS will support the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action, and the national and global needs for early warning of ongoing and emerging threats. A Quadripartite-led approach to global One Health Intelligence will help to reduce the threats to global health security posed by risks across the One Health spectrum, including environmental changes.
