After nearly a year, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our lives and societies in an unprecedent manner. As we approach the end of 2020, one lesson from the response to the pandemic certainly stands out: collaboration across sectors is key to tackling shared sanitary challenges. The disease has significantly challenged our global health systems, food supply chains and economies, and furthermore has demonstrated that a longstanding and sustainable One Health collaboration is necessary.<\/span><\/div>\n

To support countries in building multisectoral mechanisms to jointly assess the risks at the human\u2013animal\u2013environment interface, a new operational tool is available to complement the existing Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While it describes step by step how to conduct each component of the process, it also provides model documents and templates to support its implementation by staff from national ministries responsible for the management of zoonotic diseases.<\/p>\n
