This project aims to improve health outcomes in rural communities, and especially among marginalized women and girls, by applying a One Health approach to preventing and responding to zoonotic diseases. Project activities include: (1) increasing the capacity of One Health actors to improve local cross-sectoral coordination, referral and reporting of zoonoses; (2) increasing access to needed resources for zoonoses control, including vaccines, testing supplies and treatments; (3) strategic recruitment of women to fill gaps in human and health personnel; (4) development of climate-resilient water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure for prevention and control of zoonoses; (5) strengthening the capacity of communities, especially women and girls, to prevent and respond to zoonoses; and (6) undertaking research to strengthen the evidence base for, and integration of, effective gender-responsive One-Health approaches in marginalized communities. This project is being implemented by Veterinarians Without Borders in collaboration with WaterAid Canada, the University of Guelph, the Institute of Health Economics, and various local partners including the University of Global Health Equity, and Agronomists and Veterinarians Without Borders Senegal.
