This POLICY, ADVOCACY, AND REGULATION Module is part of a complete series of One Health educational and training documents designed to be used in whole or in part, and to be modified as needed to serve as a context- and culturally-relevant source of information for teaching and for training workshops focused on One Health professionals responsible for human, domesticated animal, wildlife and ecosystem/environmental health. The goals are to:
§ increase exposure to and improve cross-sectoral and inter-professional collaboration on key disease surveillance and disease outbreaks;
§ provide practical strategies useful for field investigations of disease outbreaks, and a realistic exposure for students and faculty interested in emerging infectious diseases, including emerging zoonotic infectious agents, newly identified infectious agents capable of causing pandemic threats, disease management and public awareness campaigns, environmental and ecosystem health; and
§ improve cooperation among national, regional and district-level government health officials interested in the One Health principle, along with multilateral health agencies (such as the World Health Organization [WHO], the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [FAO], and the World Organisation for Animal Health [OIE]), as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private industry.
Contains a facilitator guide, a student guide, presentation slides, a quizz and related resources
