The One Health Joint Plan of Action (2022–2026)
Working together for the health of humans, animals, plants and the environment
Keywords
Responding to international requests to help prevent future pandemics and promote health sustainably through the One Health approach, the Quadripartite has developed the One Health Joint Plan of Action (2022–2026) (OH JPA) [1].
The OH JPA outlines the commitment of these four organisations to collectively advocating and supporting the implementation of One Health. It builds on, complements and adds value to existing global and regional One Health and coordination initiatives that are aimed at strengthening our capacity to address complex multidimensional health risks by ensuring more resilient health systems at every level.
The OH JPA is built around six interdependent ‘action tracks’ that together contribute towards achieving sustainable health and food systems, reducing global health threats and improving ecosystem management. Each action track consists of a set of actions with specific activities, deliverables and a timeline to achieve its objectives.
