A guide to implementing the One Health Joint Plan of Action at national level

This guide was developed through a participatory process, led by the Quadripartite organisations – the FAO, UNEP, WHO and WOAH – involving staff engaged in One Health across the headquarters and regional levels of the four organisations. It reflects inputs from multi-sectoral consultations including from the One Health High-Level Expert Panel and countries with the purpose of establishing and strengthening efforts towards a sustainable One Health approach at national level.

When addressed holistically, the actions presented in the One Health Joint Action Plan and this accompanying guide aim to inspire greater and more targeted One Health action at every level, enhancing capacities and capabilities to prevent and mitigate risks and threats, with the ultimate aim of promoting well-being and health more sustainably for a thriving planet.
