A SCIENCE-BASED COMMUNITY PREZODE is an initiative aiming to advance research, advocacy, and collaboration to prevent zoonosis, bringing together an international community.
THE ONE HEALTH APPROACH PREZODE bases its framework on the One Health perspective, an integrated, unifying approach that recognizes the interdependence of human, animal, and ecosystem health.
AN INITIATIVE TO ENSURE PREVENTION PREZODE efforts focus on preventing risk emergence at the source by co-designing risk reduction and early detection solutions with and for the local communities and actors.
COLLABORATION PRINCIPLES The Initiative forms a network to facilitate and strengthen interactions across member organizations. It proposes a common framework to foster collaboration and impact. Membership is based on mutual understanding and collaboration principles.
COMMUNITIES AT THE CORE Local communities and specialists are the frontline of disease prevention. Being the closest to the living scene, they are invaluable for early detection and rapid response to unusual events. A win-win partnership with them enables an effective prevention.
STRATEGIC AGENDA PREZODE's strategic agenda is the research and operational roadmap for the next 10 years. The document details the knowledge gaps in research to be filled and the operational activities to be targeted. It also provides a global impact pathway...
