However, external and internal health system evaluations continue to identify major gaps in capacity to implement multisectoral and multidisciplinary collaboration within and between many countries, and countries are asking for support from the Tripartite ⁽¹⁾ to fill these gaps. This guide is the response to those requests.

The University of Gondar College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, Ethiopia, and the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, United States of America, developed an objective methodology to assess the curriculum of veterinary institutions and implement changes to create a curriculum that is harmonised with the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) standards while also covering the needs and realities of Gondar and Ethiopia. The process, developed under the sponsorship of the WOAH Veterinary Education Twinning Programme, is outlined in this article with the hope that it can be applied by other countries wishing to improve national veterinary services through the improvement of their academic programmes.

IHR-PVS National Bridging Workshops (abbreviated NBW) are three-day events facilitated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) bringing together 50-to-80 participants from public health and from animal health services.

The objective of the workshops is to analyse and improve the collaboration between the two sectors in the prevention, detection and response to zoonotic diseases and other health events at the animal–human interface (food safety, food security, antimicrobial resistance).
