One Health

One Health Knowledge Nexus

The One Health Knowledge Nexus is a collaborative platform uniting a diverse and complementary set of Communities of Practice (CoP) providing technical resources, coordination, and networking opportunities to support the mainstreaming of One Health. The platform actively promotes knowledge sharing and communication, both online and in person. It brings together professionals from diverse sectors and regions worldwide, enabling them to exchange valuable insights, innovative ideas, and practical solutions to address One Health challenges.

⦿ Short summary of the Nexus

The Nexus is spearheaded by and powered by the Quadripartite collaboration – FAO, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). The knowledge is generated to enhance the practical implementation of One Health and support the One Health Joint Plan of Action. 

This initiative is supported by financial contributions from the UK International Development from the UK government, the Gates Foundation, the American Rescue Plan Act, and in-kind contributions of multiple collaborators and partners.
