About us
The WHO One Health Initiative acts as the Secretariat for the High-Level Expert Panel on One Health. It also serves as the Secretariat of the WHO Internal Coordination (WIC) on One Health and the WHO Secretariat to the One Health collaboration between FAO/UNEP/WHO/WOAH (quadripartite). It also promotes a One Health related research agenda and leverages cross-sectoral solutions to support regions and countries.
The One Health Initiative, under the Office of Assistant Director-General of the Division of Healthier Populations, has 3 key objectives. These include:
- expand the One Health approach to include the environmental component (e.g., change in land use and increasingly urbanized ecosystems) to the human-animal interface approach, and consider the links between human, animal and ecosystem health; and
- operationalize the One Health approach through a set of activities to reduce the risk and mitigate the impact of future emergence of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases, endemic and emerging, infectious and non-communicable diseases, with a focus on emerging zoonoses that have epidemic or pandemic potential.
