DEVELOPING AN INTEGRATED ONE HEALTH APPROACH OPERATIONAL IN SEA
(THAILAND, LAOS, CAMBODIA)
AT THE HUMAN / ANIMAL / ENVIRONMENT INTERFACE
This project is partly funded by the European Commission (up to 2,2 Mio. EUR)
COMACROSS
• Thailand, Laos, Cambodia • 4 years (February 2014 – January 2018) • ComAcross consortium:
• OBJ: TO implement an integrated One Health Approach operational in SEA by developing an holistic approach to health among different stakeholders at the Animal-Human-Environment interface
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Specific Objective 1 Improved awareness on One Health and Ecohealth best practices
“Learning by doing” • Frameworks and mechanisms for
improved “dialogue” and routine collaboration among One Health traditional and non-traditional actors at the Animal-Human-Environment interface
• New culture of networking (through Companion modeling)
• 4 case studies
Specific Objective 2 Improved vocational competencies: stakeholders have better technical skills to address zoonotic diseases’ complexity
Deeply understand eco-epidemiological systems involving pathogens and their reservoir, vectors and hosts. Capacity and skills to collect, store
and analyze diverse data Integration of multi-disciplinary
data into common analytical frameworks (tools such as “health GIS”, interdisciplinary databases, and models to manage heterogeneous knowledge) Conducting participatory field
work and getting closer to communities at risk
• 3 trainings diagnostic tools • 3 trainings bar coding • 3 trainings interdisciplinary
databases • 2 training GIS • 3 trainings risk mapping • 2 trainings in economic impact
assessment • 2 training in wildlife an natural
ressources monitoring • 2 training in social diagnosis • 4 training in participatory
epidemiology
Specific Objective 2
BioZoonoSEA
Raised postgraduate students’ capacities on “Assessment and management of health risks at the human, animal and ecosystem interface”.
InterRisk Master degree under development Kasetsart Un./ ENVT
Joint teaching activities with other regional OH curriculum
Specific Objective 3
• ComAcross will implement 4 core Activities • Activity 1 aims at guiding target groups through the
setup of a Community of Practice (CoP).
• Activity 2 will ensure “filling the gaps” in target groups skills, through professional trainings and capacity building.
• Activity 3 will ensure the development of an academic Curriculum for awareness raising, training and capacity building of the next generation of One Health actors.
• Activity 4 focuses on disseminating ComAcross outcomes and lessons of the “Learning by Doing” process conducted throughout the action
Expected outputs • Sharing knowledge through participatory
approaches; • Improving data management and data sharing
across sectors; • Interdisciplinary risk mapping and health GIS; • Organisation of cross-sectoral workshops; • Disease economic impact assessment and
modelling; • Formal education degree; • Networking among laboratories.
Target groups
• State services • Academic staff (students, teachers and researchers) • Community representatives (health volunteers, farmers associations, commercial farmers, notables at district and commune levels) • Laboratories’ staff • Field operators (epidemiologists, vets, ecologists, public health and rural development workers)
Knowledge sharing and increased capacity building to analyse and manage zoonotic diseases
Expected outcomes
• Improvement of civil servants’ technical skills and methodological resources to better address cross-sectoral collaboration; Improved equipment and training of laboratory staff • Improvement of data management procedures and methods; publication of trainings workshops’ booklets, case studies booklets and 1 handbook valorising the companion modelling process that has been conducted throughout ComAcross action • Efficient networking at the AHE interface; web-based social networking tools; publications in international peer reviewed journal and presentations in international conferences • Effective implementation of Master 1 and Master 2 modules
WHAT WE PLAN TO DO?
• A “case study”-based approach : 4 “model diseases” that will function as case studies for knowledge sharing and cross-sectoral collaboration
• Thai long term study on flood driven diseases • Cambodian long-term study on Japanese
Encephalitis • Lao long-term study on zoonotic diseases of
livestock with a focus on parasitic diseases • Regional long-term study on Nipah Virus.
• 4 case studies to set up One Health community of practice: Selected because they cover a broad
range questions arising at the AHE interface. Projects involving partners of the
consortium are currently going on for each of the 4 cases (preliminary data are available, local stakeholders are already used to work with research teams).
The implementation of the 4 case studies will be coordinated through a participatory approach :
To reveal and strengthen the possible
synergies between the various stakeholders involved.
Enhancing their knowledge and competences to analyse and manage zoonotic diseases within a cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary framework
Companion modeling approach: Elaborating a conceptual model of socio-ecological interactions at work in a given system Will reveal step by step the cross-sectoral and inter-
disciplinary issues to be addressed
Shape a shared representation (conceptual models used to design ABM and role-playing games involving the stakeholders, or partially implemented on a computer)
Generate and play different scenarios
• Elaborate on existing OH networking
• GREASE research network (Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia) To improve the management of epidemiological emergent risks in SEA by strengthening synergies and skills/knowledge sharing. An integrated multidisciplinary approach through research/training projects and scientific networking Strengthening the interactions between social and biological/medical sciences (developing participatory and modeling tools)
• SEA-PREID working group, Development of Participatory Research group for Emerging and Infectious Animal Diseases management in South East Asia
Regional technical working group focusing on the implementation of participatory approaches to tackle the issues of infectious diseases surveillance and control (Participatory Epidemiology Network for Animal and Public Health (PENAPH) network coordinated by ILRI)
• ComMod READI Pilot Network of Excellence Improving animal health surveillance and control within livestock production systems through cross-sectoral dialogue and networking involving actors form Agriculture, Veterinary, Public health and Environment sectors. 3 meetings in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia ; participatory modeling approach
• South East Asia encephalitis (SEAe) research program Multidisciplinary regional project aiming to reduce the
morbidity and mortality associated to infectious encephalitis in SEA by improving diagnosis and medical care for patients and integrating potential ecological, epidemiological, and sociological factors to provide adapted surveillance and control methodologies.
• CEROPATH / BiodivHealth in Southeast Asia : Local impacts and perceptions of global changes:
Health, Biodiversity and Zoonoses in Southeast Asia
Rodents as models for investigating biodiversity changes and as zoonotic reservoirs (leptospirosis, scrub typhus)
Perception of risks at landscape level, risk exposure and land use change
• Evaluation of animal health surveillance systems in South East Asia (REVASIA) research program Research program developing innovative tools for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of zoonotic or animal infectious diseases surveillance systems. It merges the inputs of epidemiology, social sciences, economy and modelling to improve surveillance in animal health at central and local levels.
• Elaborate on existing OH networking • Bottom-up process : consultative process (GREASE
network) highlighting partners needsfor capacity building and training in health risk management within a OH approach
Involving these partners and collaborators in ComAcross activities :
• State services (DLD), Zoological Park Organization • Universities (CMU, KKU, RUPP), ENVT • I.O. (FAO, OIE, …), • Intern. Research centers (ILRI/PENAPH, IRD, CNRS,…) • NgOs (FFI,…) • Etc.
