From 4th to 6th February, the bustling city of Harare hosted delegates from Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe as they were led by ISAAA AfriCenter through a series of discussions and exercises to develop a Theory of Change framework for their One Health initiatives.
Representatives from the above-mentioned countries had already undergone a pitching session in a sandpit event that selected appropriate One Health initiatives to be funded by the COHESA project for implementation within a year. “This workshop is an important opportunity for us scientists to start our projects with the end in mind, so that we can have a sustainable solution beyond the funding cycle,” Prof. Gift Matope from the University of Zimbabwe stated in his opening remarks.
