Last Updated on September 18, 2024

The network strengthens Canadian leadership in improving the global governance of Infectious Disease and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by building and sustaining a global transdisciplinary and inter-sectoral One Health network originating in Canada.

The objectives of Global 1HN are to:

• Develop and sustain a Network of local, national and international state and non-state actors to facilitate collaborative interactions among civil society, academics, industry, and policy communities
• Strengthen capacity for inter- and transdisciplinary research on, and the practice of, global governance of IDs and AMR
• Facilitate evidence-informed actions through: synergistic engagement of social and health sciences approaches to OH global governance; identifying and addressing existing barriers to, and enhancing existing and potential enablers of OH governance; and developing a OH evaluation framework
• Facilitate the implementation of a transdisciplinary OH approach to global governance of IDs and AMR through an integrated knowledge translation strategy

Project Activities

Global-1HN coordinates social science researchers and knowledge users with researchers in the human, animal and environmental health sciences to develop a transdisciplinary approach to ID and AMR governance at global, national, and local levels. It complements and coordinates with its European counterpart (SoNAR-Global), and other leading global OH research initiatives to maximise synergy. Four research enabling platforms (REPs) address ID and AMR: i) surveillance, ii) evaluation, iii) institutional governance and iv) equity, contributing to improved design, effectiveness, and governance of integrated OH systems.
