One Health Strategic Action Plans - One Health Commission

One Health Strategic Action Plans

 

Many national and subnational governments, government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and intergovernmental organizations have recognized the need for a One Health approach. To clarify this evolving policy landscape, the One Health Commission has begun compiling these One Health Strategic Action Plans.

This compilation is a global One Health community effort. Please help us make this webpage a tool for showing colleagues and policymakers how much One Health thinking is being implemented globally. Please contact us with any suggestions for additions or modifications at ohc@onehealthcommission.org.

 

Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action

 

The One Health Quadripartite** is a collaborative framework of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH*), and World Health Organization (WHO) to coordinate their respective efforts using a One Health approach, and support their respective members in also doing so. A feature of their work has been the creation of a One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA) in coordination with the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP). The OH JPA seeks to outline the continued integration of the Quadriparite's collective One Health efforts. A draft for comments was released in March 2022. A final version was released in October 2022. More details on the development process can be found here.
