Dynamising One Health Through a Structured Global Networking Model

Area of Science:

• One Health
• Global Environmental Change
• Public Health

Background:

• Complex risks arise from interacting global changes, biodiversity loss, emerging diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and social inequalities.
• International One Health frameworks face challenges in effective national and community-level implementation and evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a structured, reproducible networking model for strengthening community-level One Health implementation.
• To foster voluntary global collaboration among civil society organizations.

Main Methods:

• A model connecting community mobilization with interdisciplinary scientific support, shared evaluation, and learning cycles.
• Thematic Project Working Groups for situation analysis, planning, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination.
• Translating community action into seven intervention fields: surveillance, animal health, WASH, food safety, education, environmental risks, and governance.

Main Results:

• A transparent process for identifying and engaging One Health organizations.
• Linking local practices to comparative synthesis, joint publication, and policy dialogue.
• Aims to transform isolated initiatives into a coordinated learning system.

Conclusions:

• The conceptual framework is ready for empirical testing in diverse settings.
• The model seeks to assess feasibility, participation, and evaluation quality.
• Preserves community and organizational autonomy while enhancing One Health efforts.
