The Quadripartite and the One Health High Level Expert Panel have collectively supported investments on One Health workforce development as a way of addressing One Health issues, but competencies critical for the workforce are not generally agreed upon, applied uniformly, or always relevant regionally.

The objectives of this study were to develop an inventory of One Health education offered by higher education institutions in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) and determine One Health competencies relevant for One Health training in the two regions.
