Challenge

Assessing risk at the Human-Animal-Environmental Interface: zoonotic diseases pose risks to both animals and people. Effectively identifying, assessing, managing, and reducing risks from these diseases requires coordination and collaboration between ministries and agencies responsible for human, animal, and environmental health. To fully understand and manage shared risks at the animal-human-environment interface, information and expertise from all relevant sectors must be brought together and assessed jointly.
Provide risk communication and management options that meet the needs of all sectors: by conducting risk assessments jointly, risk communication and management options are more likely to be relevant and acceptable to all ministries, and results can align new and ongoing efforts across sectors for effective One Health approaches to zoonotic diseases.

Solution

Benefits of the JRA Operational Tool:
Adaptable: Can be organised through existing national coordination mechanisms, platforms, or task forces, or used by local authorities for emerging health threats.
Flexible: Applied to jointly assess any zoonosis or health concern at the human-animal-environment interface. 
Inclusive: Incorporates all relevant ministries and stakeholders at the human-animal-environment interface, and builds on existing data from sector-specific risk assessments.
Rapid: A step-by-step qualitative risk assessment that can be conducted rapidly and without the need for validated quantitative data or specialized mathematical skills. 
Specific: Used for a single zoonotic disease or health event. If several zoonotic diseases or health events need to be assessed, then a JRA will be conducted for each of them.

Impact

JRA provided countries with disease-specific joint assessment and guide the development of operational resources for disease surveillance/response, legislation, protocols/SOPs, communication plans, etc.
The JRA tool has already been piloted in 16 countries (Indonesia, Panama, Viet Nam, Tanzania, Pakistan, Senegal, Georgia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Ghana, Kenya, Afghanistan, Côte d'ivoire, Cameroon, Uganda, and Egypt).
An impact assessment will be developed to better evaluate the JRA impact on country policy development and implementation, and to a larger extent on decision making.
