CGIAR scientists and research collaborators from Uganda discuss new One Health initiative (Ag Health) 

August 25, 2021


Ag Health published a blog post on how the world’s largest publicly-funded agricultural research partnership, CGIAR, is currently developing a series of initiatives to implement its 2030 research and innovation strategy that was launched in early 2021. The development of the One Health initiative is being led by a team of scientists from four CGIAR research centers — IFPRI, ILRI, IWMI, and WorldFish — in collaboration with external research partners from the Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques en Côte d’Ivoire, EcoHealth Alliance, and the University of Liverpool. The research initiatives are designed to create lasting impact in five key areas: nutrition, health, and food security; poverty reduction, livelihoods and jobs; gender equality, youth and social inclusion; climate adaptation and mitigation; and environmental health and biodiversity. Vivian Hoffmann, a senior research fellow, explained that the goal of the economics, governance, and behavior work package is to understand the drivers of people’s behavior within food systems and the impact of policies and governance approaches on this behavior.
