This project will highlight the gaps on One Health in The Gambia. It will help in establishing a network of different One Health stakeholders and a national strategic plan. There is nothing cooler than knowing that you are contributing to the discovery or development of something that can contribute to optimising the health of the people, animals and the environment.
This project aims to provide novel and actionable evidence of gaps relating to One Health in action in The Gambia, to strengthen national One Health capacity. Study outcomes will inform future focussed context-specific and community-driven research proposals that embrace a One Health approach. These project activities will align with the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action.
