BUAN charts Botswana’s path to One Health

The Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN), in collaboration with the EU-funded Capacitating One Health in Eastern and Southern Africa (COHESA) project, convened a high-level One Health Breakfast Meeting this week. The objective of the gathering was to push for a national framework that harmonises the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems – a move experts say is long overdue. The gathering, held at the Avani Resort, attracted researchers, policymakers, and development partners from across government, academia, and civil society, all united by a shared recognition that Botswana cannot afford to address health challenges in silos any longer.

BUAN Vice-Chancellor Professor, Ketlhatlogile Mosepele, referred to the One Health agenda as a critical pillar for national resilience.
