Resilient Agrifood Systems Science Group Evaluation Case Study: the “One Health” Approach and its Application in Viet Nam Issued on 2025 by CGIAR IAES

This sub-study on One Heath Approach was conducted as part of the independent evaluation of the Resilient Agrifood Systems (RAFS) Science Group. The One Health Initiative under RAFS SG aimed to generate solutions to existing and emerging complex health threats through a One Health Approach (OHA). Work packages were global in scope and spanned the management of zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food safety, and water quality. Methodology followed RAFS SG framing and included analysis of evidence from OH Initiative activities in Viet Nam; site visits, and in-depth interviews with 45 individuals, either singularly or in focus groups. Quality of Science (QoS) was also assessed and contributed towards the overall RAFS QoS assessment.
