Although it is well recognized that a multi-sectoral, One Health approach to diseases at the human–animal–environment interface is critical, in reality, operationalizing multi-sectoral coordination, communication and collaboration to ensure that the workforce can fulfil its functions, can be difficult. To address this, the Tripartite (WHO, FAO and WOAH) has developed a Workforce Development Operational Tool (WFD OT). This webinar will explain the overall approach for workforce development, and introduce the key components of the tool and how it can be used and how official workforce can be strengthened for more effective One Health operationalization.
Objectives
- To raise awareness on WHO’s overall approach for workforce development in One Health,
- To introduce the newly-launched Workforce Development Operational Tool (WFD OT), developed by the Tripartite (WHO, FAO, and WOAH),
- To share experience of the WFD OT implementation at the regional and country levels.
