Ethiopia has established a National team of experts composed of human, animal, environment and wildlife sectors (NOHSC) to jointly respond to zoonotic diseases.

Nonetheless, this initiative remained ad hoc, with vivid limitation of operationalizing broader OH principles
even for zoonotic disease in Ethiopia.

COHESA conducted a baseline assessment to determine the state of One Health operation and
gaps in Ethiopia. Evidence was generated from representatives of institutions, individuals charged
with OH and development partners with a stake on OH. The focus of data collection was :

• Governance structures
• Awareness levels
• Integration of OH principles in research and education
