Description
The OH-NEXTGEN main output will be a unique and sustainable web-based
training program that will equate to a diploma in neglected zoonotic diseases based
on the “One Health” approach to contribute to research development and improved
control of zoonoses in Africa in the Maghreb and Sahel regions. OH-NEXTGEN
will build a sustainable One Health course framework for cooperation and research
management of neglected zoonoses; build a knowledge base for information on the
neglected zoonoses in terms of disease, epidemiology and burdens; promote
intersectoral collaboration in the control of neglected zoonoses; empower women
through training by web-based distance learning, using messaging cognisant of
traditional knowledge and appropriate to the economic, sociological and cultural
contexts of affected communities; Build capacity to facilitate the transfer of
technologies to control neglected zoonoses in developing countries; and execute a
pro-active program of dissemination aimed at relevant stakeholders especially raising
the profile of the neglected zoonotic diseases training both internationally and within
affected countries.
Purpose
The “Training of the One Health Next Scientific Generation” OH-NEXTGEN
collaborating action aims to develop an adaptive modular, training programme for
physicians, veterinarians and public health professionals that can be flexibly
integrated into existing master, PhD and CPD programmes of universities in
countries where neglected zoonoses continue to pose a threat to human and animal
health.
