Webinar - Evidence-based One Health Governance: Voice of the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP)

6 November 2024 12:00 – 13:00 CET
Virtual meeting

Capitalizing on One Health Day (3rd November), the Quadripartite organizations are co-hosting this webinar on 6 November to display the scientific perspective and highlight the experiences from the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) in One Health Governance. 

Objectives

In order to institutionalize OH governance at national and community level, OH-specific frameworks, governing bodies, and policy harmonisation may be required depending on the context. The One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP), as the scientific advisory panel to the Quadripartite organizations, will continue focusing on providing the evidence-based advice on One Health governance, for strengthened coordination mechanisms, ensuring collaborative data-sharing surveillance systems and adequate funding toward successful implementation. 

Through this webinar co-hosted by the Quadripartite organizations, we hope to showcase the perspective of the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) how OH governance has been applied in different contexts (at regional, national and community level) and identify opportunities for improvement, including multi-level regulations, leadership, multi-stakeholder coordination mechanisms (MCMs), and financial and OH-trained human resources.
