Inaugural participating countries include Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Perú, México, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras y República Dominicana. New groups from additional Latin American countries are invited to participate. Visit OHLA on

Today FAO, WHO, and OIE launches a guide for countries on taking a One Health approach. This guide, referred to as the
Tripartitie Zoonoses Guidelines (TZG, http://bit.ly/2EPSqCr)
, provides principles, best practices and options to assist countries in achieving sustainable and functional collaboration at the human-animal-environment interface. It is flexible enough to be used for other health threats; for example, food safety and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). By using the TZG and its associated operational tools countries can build or strengthen their national capacities in:
- Multisectoral, One Health coordination mechanisms
- Strategic planning and emergency preparedness
- Surveillance and information sharing
- Coordinated investigation and response
- Joint risk assessment for zoonotic disease threats
- Risk reduction, risk communication, and community engagement
- Workforce development

(About our need for Social Sciences)
"
We need to recognize that other people (social scientists) know far better how to interact with a community and change practices. Simply having the knowledge of how you break a cycle in terms of the hard sciences doesn’t necessarily translate directly into disease control progammes."
Dr. Paul Gibbs at the IDS/DSA workshop: 'The One Health and Zoonoses lens’, October, 2018.

Researchers from Asia, Australia, Europe and the UK have begun work on an ambitious five-year project, the
UKRI GCRF One Health Poultry Hub
, exploring the public health risks associated with poultry intensification in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Working with local, regional and global stakeholders, they will study how intensification increases risk of infectious diseases, including those with pandemic potential, as well as antimicrobial resistance. They will also explore why certain processes and behaviours are risky, and when and where to test interventions for disease control to meet the growing demand for safe, low-cost poultry meat and eggs driven by population growth.

National Press Club, Washington, D.C. Hosted by DAI Global Health. "Over the past four and a half years, the USAID-funded Preparedness & Response project has worked across 16 countries to spread the vision of a multi-sectoral One Health approach — where human, animal, and environmental health assets join forces — becoming the standard way to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging pandemic threats. At this meeting the One Health community of practice will share key learning, demonstrate successful approaches to country ownership, and discuss the future of multisectoral coordination for preparedness and response.

January 31- February 1, 2019 Workshop -
London, England. Hosted by The Chatham House (The Royal Institute of International Affairs) Centre on Global Health Security. A recent analysis of One Health networks operating across Europe, Africa and Asia reveals substantial variation in how the OH principles are being operationalised, a paucity of robust monitoring and evaluation metrics, and little coordination between individual efforts. The meeting was one in a series of events that the Centre is hosting to further explore and understand successes, challenges and opportunities in the efficient implementation and institution-alisation of OH programmes globally. A meeting report will be published, which alongside the report from a meeting in East Africa will provide some insight into the OH approach, how stakeholders view it, and hopefully the commonalities found within each OH initiative.

eries
of cross-disciplinary events hosted by the International Development Studies Association funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. This workshop considered the value of a development studies perspective in research into zoonoses. A final session used the
Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) as a framework to discuss how zoonoses research can contribute to the challenges faced by developing countries. One group said it helped them to think of themselves as
development researchers
rather than practitioners of very different disciplines, and wondered if the lens of ‘development’ could be the ‘glue’ to bring interdisciplinary teams together more effectively.
