(2022 – 2026)
FAO Joint Centre for Zoonotic Diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance (CJWZ) is proud to announce that the Quadripartite – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) – has launched the
One Health Joint Plan of Action.
This first joint plan on One Health was developed under FAO's Presidency of the Tripartite (FAO, WHO and WOAH) together with UNEP, and aims to create a framework to integrate systems and capacity so that we can
collectively better prevent, predict, detect, and respond to health threats. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to improve the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment, while contributing to sustainable development.
The One Health Joint Plan of Action, developed through a participatory process, provides a set of activities that aim to strengthen collaboration, communication, capacity building, and coordination equally across
all sectors responsible for addressing health concerns at the human-animal-plant-environment interface.
The five-year plan (2022-2026) focuses on supporting and expanding capacities in six areas: One Health capacities for health systems, emerging and re-emerging zoonotic epidemics, endemic zoonotic, neglected tropical
and vector-borne diseases, food safety risks, antimicrobial resistance and the environment.
