In a concerted effort to enhance health security in West Africa, stakeholders from the region’s One Health platforms gathered for a training workshop in Senegal on 22–26 July 2024.
Jointly organized by the CGIAR Initiative on One Health and the One Health Research, Education and Outreach Centre in Africa (OHRECA), which is led by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), the workshop brought together participants from Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal.
Their goal was to address regional health challenges and strengthen collaboration by building on past evaluations.
Participants focused on topical areas including food safety, disease surveillance and antimicrobial resistance, employing an interactive format that encouraged deep engagement with each theme: foundations of One Health, governance structures and practical application in local contexts.
