Resumen
Descripción
The significance of this diagnostic
work stems from the fact that it is the first of its kind to
be carried out under the One Health perspective in Sudan.
The study aligns with the World Bank’s growing focus on One
Health approach to preparing for and addressing zoonotic and
emerging infectious diseases. It systematically draws
attention to the links among the integrity of forests and
rangelands, land and water management practices, and the
ramifications for public health. Studies show that over 30
percent of new diseases that have been reported since 1960
can be attributed to land-use change, including
deforestation. Zoonotic diseases, responsible for over 70
percent of emerging infections, pose global risks, as they
transfer from animals to humans, impacting health,
environment, livelihoods, economies, and sustainable
development. Despite this, efforts to control them have been
predominantly reactive. The study aims to assess Sudan’s
susceptibility to zoonotic diseases and related public
health threats influenced by multiple drivers and propose
ways to better respond to them in more concerted efforts
through the lenses of sustainable land and water management
practices. It also aims to fulfil the imperative of the
World Bank’s technical assistance and programmatic
nonlending, activity support to projects. In order to
achieve this, the study makes recommendations on how to
improve implementation capability and maximize outcomes on
the ground for other relevant project and program
experiences in Sudan and other subregional nations.
