Resumen
Descripción
This workshop was co-organized by the Capacitating One Health in Eastern and Southern Africa (COHESA) and ASEACA (PREACTs) projects, funded respectively by the European Union (EU) and the French Development Agency (AFD), and coordinated by International Livestock research Institute (ILRI), French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and International Service for the Acquisition of AgriBiotech Applications AfriCenter (ISAAA-Africenter). Partners from 12 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) participated alongside representatives from regional bodies and international organizations.
The COHESA project, now in its sixth and final year (ending in 2026), has worked to institutionalize and operationalize OH initiatives and platforms across 12 partner countries. The ASEACA project, beginning in 2026 and running for four years, is designed to advance COHESA's legacy and regional roadmap. Thinking about a second phase of the COHESA project, e.g., COHESA 2.0 project, two main components would interact:
• Country components, whose objective would be to continue the institutionalization and operationalization of One Health initiatives and platforms in countries;
• A regional component (thereafter called Future Network) that would engage with One Health initiatives and platforms in countries and with continental bodies and other African regional networks. The aim of this workshop is to co-design the future of the COHESA regional component (i.e., Future Network) in Eastern and Southern Africa.
