STAR IDAZ Approach

There are different definitions of one health, but they all emphasise the connections between humans, animals, and environment and the benefits of an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems in health. The following definition based on the one adopted by WHO, FAO, & OIE – Tripartite Alliance.

One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach – working at local, regional, national, and global levels – to achieve optimal health and well-being outcomes recognizing the interconnections between humans, animals (domestic and wild), plants, ecosystems, and their shared environment.

STAR-IDAZ IRC has worked with the Global Research Collaboration for Infectious Disease Preparedness (GloPID-R; https://www.glopid-r.org) to produce a report that aims to make recommendations for research funding organisations to better align their funding strategies to integrate the One Health approach more widely.

Gap analysis summary

The working group has produced a report titled ‘Mapping One Health: An Exploration of the Global Funding Landscape for One Health Research’. This report, which compiles expert opinions and recommendations from a workshop and survey conducted
by the group members, has been recently circulated to STAR-IDAZ members for review and will be published on the website shortly. Additionally, an abstract from the report has been accepted for presentation at the 8th World One Health Congress in Cape Town this September. Our next step is to engage funders and start working on a living funders roadmap.
