The Quadripartite Organizations – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the
World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE), and the World Health
Organization (WHO) – collaborate to drive the change and transformation required
to mitigate the impact of current and future health challenges at the human–animal–
plant–environment interface at global, regional and country level.
Responding to international requests to prevent future pandemics and to promote health
sustainably through the One Health approach, the Quadripartite has developed the One
Health Joint Plan of Action (2022–2026) (OH JPA).
The OH JPA outlines the commitment of the four organizations to collectively advocate
and support the implementation of One Health. It builds on, complements and adds
value to existing global and regional One Health and coordination initiatives aimed at
strengthening capacity to address complex multidimensional health risks with more
resilient health systems at global, regional and national level.
