The One Health (OH) approach in managing endemic and emerging zoonotic disease outbreaks is based on the recognition of the fact that coordinated and collaborative efforts among experts in the human, animal and environment sectors optimizes the prevention and control of these diseases. It has also been adopted as the core driver to make the world safer from infectious diseases by the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA)which is an alliance of over 60 governments and international partners. The GHSA was launched in February 2014 with the aims of advocating for a world safe and secure from infectious disease threats; bringing together nations from all over the world to make new, concrete commitments, and elevating global health security as a national leaders-level priority. This agenda is the basis on which major institutional donors such as the World Bank and USAID support various country governments to institutionalize One Health system improving disease outbreaks response.

Planetary Environmental health may affect human and animal health through contamination, pollution and changing climate conditions that may lead to emergence of new infectious agents. Worldwide, nearly 75 percent of all emerging human infectious diseases in the past three decades originated in animals. The world population is projected to grow from 7 billion in 2011 to 9 billion by 2050. To provide adequate healthcare, food and water for the growing global population, the health professions, and their related disciplines and institutions, must work together. Human-animal interactions/bonds can beneficially impact the health of both people and animals.

Ethiopia is fully committed to the One Health approach, which is supported by the National One Health platform that involves the active participation of multiple stakeholders, and indeed several policy documents recommend issues. multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary approaches to better address complex public health issues.

Cognizant of these facts, the Africa Center of Excellence for Water Management (ACEWM) and the College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture (CVMA) of AAU calls for outstanding scholars to apply for the MSc in One Health programs for the 2024/25 academic year. The program will be hosted by the CVMA and will be delivered in collaboration with the ACEWM, CVMA, College of Health Science , Aklilu Lemma Institute of Pathobiology, Addis Ababa Institute of Technology, and Ethiopian Construction.
