Analyzing countries’ needs to improve multisectoral collaboration against health threats at the human-animal-environment interface: a study of 51 National Bridging Workshop Roadmaps
The activity needs, and their frequency, can help streamline international efforts to support countries in building their multisectoral collaborative capacities. With no dominant patterns of activity inclusion identified across countries or regions, our results offer concrete evidence for the need to tailor the One Health approach to countries' national contexts. The findings support the growing body of literature that emphasizes the absence of a "one-size-fits-all" approach. They also demonstrate that the NBW method supports this needed flexibility. This study is the first to investigate One Health needs from such a broad range of countries, based on a common, standardized tool. Our findings offer critical insights into national and, by extension, global priorities for One Health collaboration, that can guide the development of tools and strategies that align with the specific needs articulated by countries.
