How we work?

The One Health Consortium employs an approach that integrates research, advocacy, partnership development, capacity building, and awareness creation to effectively fulfill its strategic mandate of the One Health Consortium.

Advocacy forms the central strategy of the One Health Consortium (OHC). The OHC engages in evidence-based advocacy to enhance policies and promote natural resources management through the One Health Consortium approach. The research supported by OHC, the partnerships it fosters, and the capacity-building efforts it undertakes all contribute to advancing its advocacy goals of the One Health Approach.

Advocacy

Capacity building

Local communities are essential custodians within the One Health Consortium, and face vulnerabilities related to human and animal health, climate change, food security, and livelihoods. They demonstrate limited adaptive capacity and insufficient skills in the sustainable management of One Health issues. OHC initiates and coordinates capacity-building efforts aimed at empowering these communities and engaging other key stakeholders.

Awareness creation

The One Health Consortium recognizes gaps in societal knowledge and information concerning broader environmental health, human health, animal health, and ecosystem threats. OHC utilizes its deep understanding of the One Health approach to promote awareness of effective strategies for coping with climate and environmental threats, safeguarding the health of both animals and humans and advocating for sustainable ecosystem management practices.
